funny you say that, Dreamcast systems generally don't go for any more than some of their peers (Gamecube and Xbox system + controller sets). it also doesn't have a library of games full of particularly high priced collectable ones, a handful (Cannon, Power Stone, etc.)

at any rate I'm not sure this is a stat I would be bragging about! after all the Dreamcast = death of Sega practically

Good job Wii U!

See this is why VGChartz is infuriating sometimes, because anyone can post fake news and everyone believes it.

But what you have to realize is that the Wii U was released in all the major markets at roughly the same time. The Dreamcast had a staggered release. The global market affects the domestic market.

How many months into is life was Dreamcast discontinued?

I just meant demand will be equal. People didn't buy the Dreamcast when it was on the market. I did, and I was there when everyone else around me was mocking the damn thing. No one cared or wanted it. It was all PS2, all the time. Flash forward a decade and now, all of a sudden, people almost chant the Dreamcasts name when you show them one. I'm always like... you know... if you people would have felt this way back in 2000, maybe Sega would still be making consoles.

People are going to have the exact same response to Wii-U in 2025. People will praise it as a misunderstood console with a killer library of games and it'll attain cult status. And, I'm sure I'll be there saying the same thing I now say about the Dreamcast lol

Haha no it won't!  The Dreamcast was the last Sega console, this is simply Nintendo's worst.  Maybe it will be a collector's item, but not close to the Dreamcast.

Out of interest which bit is fake?

Why single out US if we're using VGC numbers... according to them Wii U has surpassed Dreamcast in every region

It's already happening....
