You keep bringing up PlayStation, as though I believe MS has had more impact than Sony.  I don't.  Sony is head-to-head with Nintendo for the most impactful company in gaming.  You are fighting an argument nobody made. 

And yes, MS has had way more impact than Sega in the gaming industry, that was one of my main points.

Sorry, I find Sega to be a one hit wonder.  I am entitled to my opinion.  Outside the Genesis, Sega has little legacy except for their core fans, who (IMHO) grossly overstate their importance in gaming.  Their living legacy is meh at best.  Even Sonic is second rate 3D platforming compared to Mario, Sackboy and Astrobot.  Sega hasn't been a major player in the industry for almost 30 years....  I wasn't even a teenager last time Sega was a power player.  

And you were welcome to find Sega games to be more important than MS.  I don't agree.  MS games, like Forza and Halo, are relevant today.  The vast majority of Sega franchises have no major impact today.  They aren't a major player and have not been a major player for a very long time.

Sega "had" personality.  Yeah, agreed.  30 years ago, they had something.  They haven't had much in decades.

So you prefer Sega over MS.  Congrats?  I just gave my opinion as someone who has owned every Sega, Nintendo, Sony and MS console to date (except the series X).  I'm not trying to change your mind.  You, however, are trying to change mine.  Sega is overrated, that is my opinion.  As someone who gamed on the CD, 32x, Saturn and DC...  bunch of dumpster fires.   

I mean, I don't get your point.  You love Sega.  I don't.  They are very much a one hit wonder.  The Genesis was amazing.  Their other systems, meh.  No lasting impact to gaming.  MS has brought a lot to the table that remains today.    

Sega is the epitome of a creative company that had zero execution and implementation.  Sega is arguably one of the poorest run organizations in gaming history.  Sega is lucky to hold Atlus and have Platinum developing Bayo games.  

MS is one of the biggest publishers in gaming history.  Sony is one of the biggest publishers in gaming history.  Nintendo is one of the biggest publishers in gaming history.  Sega is, at best, middle of the road with impact.  They are nobody. 

Having a good team 30 years ago isn't going to impress me.  The fact that Sega fans need to bring up consoles and games from the 90s says it all.

edit

fun fact.  Sega was in the hardware business from 1985 to 2001 (DC was discontinued), which is 16 years.  MS will be in the hardware business for 23 years and counting.       

another fun fact.  Sega is closer to Atari (66 million to 31 million) in hardware sales than they are to MS (150 million).  

I'm using Playstation to show you how your point stands no ground when Xbox is compared to something bigger.

If Sega is close to Atari than Xbox, then Xbox is also closer to Sega than to Playstation... do you see the point?

The same things you can say about Sega, using Xbox, I can say about Xbox, using Playstation, so if Sega is an one hit wonder because of this reasoning, what is different about the Xbox?

I'm not trying to chance your opinion, and I'm not trying to be rude either right, because I simply don't care.

The thread askes if you preffer the Xbox or the Dreamcast, after choosing the Xbox you decided to kick Sega down to futher validate your point, which needed no validation to begin with, it's your opinion, and I'm just pointing the same can be done to Xbox, because if that's your reason to pick the Xbox... it doesn't sound like a good reason at all.

I feel like we both said what we should, don't want to derail the thread anymore.

Your point is nonsensical.  

If I say 8 is bigger than 6, you pointing out 10 is bigger than 8 means nothing, because 8 is still bigger than 6.

I would agree that Sony puts MS to shame in gaming, especially this generation.  But Sony being better than MS doesn't have anything to do with MS vs Sega.

You are being rather silly. 

3rd place is higher than 4th place.  The fact 1st and 2nd exist doesn't mean suddenly 3=4.  

My personal ranking would be Nintendo =Sony>>>>>MS>>>Sega
