The Wii U's failure is a lot more recent in people's minds than the Dreamcast, which died 20 years ago.

That's what I figured too, but even though it was 20 years back, Dreamcast's failure is legendary as a tragic chapter in gaming history. I guess people forgot just how poorly it sold.

Well, for me it is that I hadn't entered console gaming back then (still played on PC). But with the Dreamcast it was close. A friend had a Dreamcast and it was the first console I experienced. I certainly considered getting one myself - but then Sega discontinued it, so I decided not to. I kinda regret it these days. Dreamcast had cool games and enough of them to justify owning the console. But for me it was the additional hurdle to jump into console gaming in the first place. Years later the Wii got me finally into it.
