Would be nice if he could share the N64.

That's 6+ sports titles on the Saturn units list and 8+ sports titles on the Dreamcast units list (depending on how you count racing, skateboarding, etc). The American Sega fanbase clearly had a favored genre.

Personally I’ve never counted games like Tony Hawk as sports titles because they are extremely arcade like and and action focused. Same with the Sega racing games, they’re arcade ports, they’re arcade games. But the actual sports games on those lists were all incredible. Sega had phenomenal sports offerings in all four of the big US sports and even for something more niche like tennis they had Virtua Tennis.

EA was way too scared to put their shitty titles on the Dreamcast to compete.

Yeah the Dreamcast was very much about "the arcade experience at home", while also appealing to kid's sense of "cool" with stuff like Sonic and sports titles.

Yeah I'd love to see that as well, maybe that's coming on its US anniversary end of this month.
