My Love-Hate Relationship with the Consoles

I have a very similar background, my path was Commodore 64 -> Amiga -> Playstation 1,2,3,4,5.
I am appalled, Sir, that you would single out and blame Sony for the demise of the Dreamcast. I submit that Sega themselves were the architects of their own doom, by making questionable business decisions in a highly competitive market. I think they were already losing the battle against Nintendo anyways. Perhaps their time simply came to an end.
As for your other comments about consoles being PC-like, hot and bulky, I find those to be irrelevant and superficial complaints that have little to do with what actually matters; the games and the experience of playing them.
However, this is all in good fun, no offense given or taken.

Yeah, it's sad, but Sega did it all to themselves, starting with their haphazard approach to finding a successor to the Genesis. Almost every decision they made regarding the Saturn was a bad decision. They also were never truly in the same league as Nintendo or Sony in terms of resources.
