Damn. Listening to PS fans here the system is barely selling at all.
Fucking pathetic. Trying their best to bait and antagonize some into bans it seems.
The system is doing very well. Just not great. It'll get there long as the games show up.

I found an old box my mother kept on the family house and inside was some old gaming magazines so I decided to read them again... like 15 years later. How have I forgot some news that could've make history? So since I'm not good at finding new news I decided to share this piece of history for those of you who didn't know.

Did you guys know that Sega wanted the Xbox to be retrocompatible with the Dreamcast? I knew that at first that Xbox was supposed to be some upgrade for the Dreamcast but the idea changed later.

Here I found an article from Kotaku about that subject.

"Furukawa says that Okawa negotiated with Gates himself, but he was unable to work out a deal to pass on the Dreamcast customers. Before Okawa, Furukawa adds, he gave over roughly US$ 900 million from his personal fortune to SEGA in order to keep the company afloat."

I didn't know it was Okawa that wanted this actualy. I always thought Gates wanted to buy Sega and continue with Dreamcast. Reading this makes me want to know more about videogame history. Can't wait for the videogame history show. Hope it plays in Canada and not only in the US.

Ah JSRF, I liked that game, but it felt very ... souless. I reckon an XB1 version would be amazing tho.

Also I never finished it because I got stuck and had no idea where to go.

Please don't tell me you got stuck after dealing with those japanese neo-tokio emo girls from certain part of the town, because I actually got stuck there and had no idea where to go, eventually leaving the game xD

I got stuck in the sewers after recruiting the black dude.

I was familiar with the plan to add Dreamcast backwards compatibility to the original Xbox, but I had no idea that there was actually a possibility of Microsoft buying Sega. The fact that it didn't happen makes me a sad panda : (

Yeah me too. I thought it was going to happen even after the Dreamcast ended since they released Sega GT, Gunvalkyrie and JSRF on Xbox... could've gave a great start to Xbox and 6th gen would've took another turn.
