Which is weird because part of what killed the Saturn was the 32X, which was the only one of those 3 stystems that actually deserved the sales it got.

The Dreamcast was cool, but Sega couldn't handle the financial stress. It was actually selling pretty well too. Even with PS2 on the horizon, Dreamcast was cheaper. If Sega was a bigger company they could have kept it all going, like Sony did when PS3 happened.

I agree, but I feel like consumers were hesitant to jump on the Saturn (I know I was) back in the day becuase of al the Genesis add-ons....I had no faith they would support the system mroe then the CD or 32X.

The demise of the Dreamcast was a true tragedy, as it was a very innovative console with tons of potential. :(

Online console gameplay and screens inside of a controller were both terrible ideas.

Online gameplay is pretty much worthless to me as I get nothing out of playing against strangers, but both ideas have potential.

I'm sure you picked up on it, but It was a joke.  Just poiting out that the Dreamcast was a head of it's time in a lot of way.

My sarcasm detector is pretty wonky. XD We're in agreement then.
