The gap between Dreamcast and PS2 was nowhere near generational; as hardware released over a year later PS2 does have newer features, but then Gamecube and Xbox both had newer features than PS2 but are still in the same generation. There's just with more difference in core rendering tech than we are used to in more recent generations.

Each of the four demonstrate a stage in the evolution of graphics technology from the late 90s through to the early 2000s

I owned all systems that generation and while Xbox and GameCube  were more powerful ps2 could still hang with them imo. The dreamcast could not, like I said watch some ps2 mgs 2 or gt3 gameplay and it really blows dreamcast out of the water especially since those effects and poly models were seen for thr first time with ps2.

I own PS2/Xbox/Gamecube too, and have seen plenty of Dreamcast.

DC could hang with PS2 in the same way that PS2 could hang with the Xbox and Gamecube. There were clear differences in lighting technology between the four, but they're all in the same generational area in terms of overall graphical capability, much like the Megadrive is in the same ballpark as the SNES despite being behind in features.
