I've never owned a sega console, they were out of the business by the time I was 5. So Xbox. It's hard to compare the two when they didn't share generations either.

Dreamcast was the same generation as the original Xbox.

Sega announced they were leaving the console business before Xbox launched. Which was a huge bummer because their games became split between all three platforms. So Dreamcast didn't actually compete with Xbox. At best Sega put some games on Dreamcast while Xbox was on the market.

The 6th gen started in 1998 and ended around 2006. Dreamcast had the first half, Xbox took the second.

I was a big Sega fan between Genesis and Dreamcast, but at this point Sega hasn't catered to a fan like me in many years. I still play some newer Sega games, I've even really enjoyed some, but I spend significantly more time playing MS games at this point.

Well aware.
Still part of the same console generation though.

Last Sega game I played was Aliens vs Predator when that launched? And that was mostly because they were pushing PC technology. (Tessellation.)

Not denying that, just pointing out Sega exited as the gen was really starting. I mean Sega was done before the biggest 6th gen games began. It also launched really early so Dreamcast felt like 5th gen in many ways. Especially when you consider some of its library is literally 5th gen ports.

Maybe Dreamcast could have sold better if they had a worldwide 1998 launch. The PS2 was too close when Dreamcast launched in the west. Stole its thunder.
