Sales were sub par because of the hype Monster for the PS2, Emotion Engine, Toy Story quality graphics, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo though.
There is no doubt that the sheer hype for the PS2 definitely put off prospective Dreamcast adopters. Dat MGS2 trailer stole E3 2000 despite the epic showing Sega had.
STRYKIE said: I'm pretty sure shipping from here in the UK to the Benelux region would still be substantially less than 150 euros. The DC is a relatively small/lighweight system, as long as you have the system unit, controller, AV cable (I would recommend the S-Video or VGA cable but it's not necessary) and VMU memory card, you're actually pretty much set. Playing burned games on it is like getting past the Berlin wall in 1991. |
Rather than S-Video, RGB SCART is the way forwards in Europe. It's the next best thing to VGA as far as hookups for the console.
I am to lazy to look for the exact date (FU timzones) but lets just assume Dreamcasts birthday is today(at least at 1 place on earth)
Happy Birthday and thank you for introducing analog triggers to the gaming world!

Nah sales were fine in Japan until PS2 was announced and we more than fine in NA. Considering that for a year after launch PS2 was nothing more than a glorified DVD player, I can see why some people may hate the PS2...
I'd hate game pirates more personally as they killed the game sales for the system.
New Dreamcast game inbound!

Also, I have made some amazing adjustments to my custom Dreamcast console, seen here:

Will post those soon.
Yeah the game pirating on that system was crazy. I was playing all types of games on my Dreamcast.

Naaah... this theory is completely wrong and I have more valid evidence to prove my point.
For you see, Shenmue I was released on the the 29th Dec. 1999 in Japan, which means it will turn 15 this year.
Errrm... so. 15, 1 + 5 = 6 : 2 = 3 So Shenmue III to be revealed on the 29th Dec. 2014!
(If you wonder where I got the 2 from... that's because uhhhh... the last game in the series was Shenmue II! Certainly!)
