It could shrink by at least me, but I think I would eventually buy xbox too. :)

Other than Shenmue and a couple of quality RPGs the Dreamcast was tosh imo...Just a load of nearly arcade perfect conversions of arcade games based on the Naomi board.

Zero depth...Good old rose tinted glasses eh ;)

Edit - Actually UnrealQuake 3 were alrite but still...it was 90% arcade nonsense.

Yes it seems that you never had a dreamcast... with the greatest fighting games ever: Soul Caliber, Dead or Alive 2 Street Fighter III Third Impact, Power Stone 2 & Marvel vs Capcom 2..Unless you had a Arcade at home this was the best next thing..

Forgetting Jet Set Radio? Metropolis Street Racing? Virtua Tennis? Ecco? Resident Evil: Code Veronica? Samba de Amigo?  Space Channel 5? Seaman?

You may never talk about the dreamcast ever again..

You're forgetting that the reason the DC failed is because nobody would buy it...

So there weren't actually that many Sega die hards left by that point...By now, what with their so so games (Sega Rally Revo, lates Sonic Adventure games, VF5 anyone?) they've pretty much lost that respected status...

Just another developmer\publisher as far as most are concerned, so no...Don't think any consoles fan base would shrink much.

The actual reason the Dreamcast failed was because of the departure of too many 3rd parties for Sega. They just came out of bad developing days with the Sega 16 and 32X, then they made the Sega Saturn, which was difficult to make games for. Then when Sega announced another system (the Dreamcast) only 3 years into the Saturn's life, 3rd parties gave up and walked out.

As for what I was going to post before:

SegaNet was the precursor to Xbox Live, so if they were still in this thing, I think the superior online would be the thing keeping Sega up like the 360. Obviously that's not the only thing good about the 360, but it is an important feature.

Nonsense I've actually got 2 and every game released on CDR.

Ferrari F355 was damn good mind...with steering wheel was superb, drifting round those corners...haven't played a more realistic racing game since.

Thing is, you did list all the good games you could think of, and not just some ;)

MVC2 was also good, gotta say...

Still most the games were shallow that can't be denied.

That was probably one of the best things about the dreamcast

Starmistkarmic on 10 July 2008

I was a big Sega fan back in the day. I had the Genesis(with the Power Converter that made it backwards compatible with the Master System), the Sega CD, the 32X, and the Saturn.
They lost me when they announced the Dreamcast a short year after I'd saved for and bought the Saturn(only about a year or so into it's life.) At the time, I was sick of(what seemed like) a new console every other year.

And yet, I would probably buy a new Sega console, were one made. If only for the chance at the possibility of an exclusive, non-MMO, Phantasy Star series reboot. No matter how slighted I felt back then(rightly or wrongly), Sega will always have a piece of my video-gaming heart because of the Phantasy Star series.



Kurakasa on 10 July 2008

Now I have to say that a sega/ms console would be to sweet. Phantasy star on segaxbox, oh man... just sweet.
