Thank you!! So one gets it. The Dreamcast was not selling 'fine' at the time. 1.25 million units in an entire year in the US is not good.

That's the great thing about graphs. A picture is worth a thousand words, and simply looking at sales figures it's clear that, aside from the solid launch, it struggled mightily in the short time it was on the market.




Definitely had a great launch. There were software droughts shortly after though where all it was getting were arcade ports or PS1/N64 ports. I always felt it lacked the serious and engaging titles. Shenmue was a step in the right direction as was Resident Evil Code Veronica but they were few and far between sadly.
