Other than Shenmue and a couple of quality RPGs the Dreamcast was tosh imo...Just a load of nearly arcade perfect conversions of arcade games based on the Naomi board.
Zero depth...Good old rose tinted glasses eh ;)
Edit - Actually UnrealQuake 3 were alrite but still...it was 90% arcade nonsense.
You're forgetting that the reason the DC failed is because nobody would buy it...
So there weren't actually that many Sega die hards left by that point...By now, what with their so so games (Sega Rally Revo, lates Sonic Adventure games, VF5 anyone?) they've pretty much lost that respected status...
Just another developmerpublisher as far as most are concerned, so no...Don't think any consoles fan base would shrink much.

Yes it seems that you never had a dreamcast... with the greatest fighting games ever: Soul Caliber, Dead or Alive 2 Street Fighter III Third Impact, Power Stone 2 & Marvel vs Capcom 2..Unless you had a Arcade at home this was the best next thing..
Forgetting Jet Set Radio? Metropolis Street Racing? Virtua Tennis? Ecco? Resident Evil: Code Veronica? Samba de Amigo? Space Channel 5? Seaman?
You may never talk about the dreamcast ever again..

The actual reason the Dreamcast failed was because of the departure of too many 3rd parties for Sega. They just came out of bad developing days with the Sega 16 and 32X, then they made the Sega Saturn, which was difficult to make games for. Then when Sega announced another system (the Dreamcast) only 3 years into the Saturn's life, 3rd parties gave up and walked out.
As for what I was going to post before:
SegaNet was the precursor to Xbox Live, so if they were still in this thing, I think the superior online would be the thing keeping Sega up like the 360. Obviously that's not the only thing good about the 360, but it is an important feature.

Yep, even EA refused to publish ANY games on it...

That was probably one of the best things about the dreamcast
