I wanted to share a very interesting article with you, which I had found much earlier, stating 23 reasons for why Xbox 360 can be assumed as Dreamcast 2.0 but also another 10 reasons why It wont fail like Dreamcast. Check it out on jpg files, and also a complete PDF file is available on rapidshare.

23 Reasons for why Xbox 360 could be assumed as Dreamcast 2.0

 

 10 Reasons for why it wont fail like Dreamcast

 

Any comments? :D

1. Old as dirt. This was done before the console got released.
2. Image got butchered once again.

If anything... the original Xbox is the Dreamcasts successor as it had the fallout team from Sega... Microsoft went in and learned everything they could from Sega... then stole it's people and IP.

This is a little old though isn't it? I mean what's the relevance anymore? We all know the one console that isn't doing so well is not the 360. ;)

Oh finally I got the post right, got me fiddling with it for some time, lol. Yes I know its old, and what it hints does not necessarily mean a real connection or indication but the similiarities are still shocking! :D

I only ever played on the Dreamcast once at a friends after it was first launched.
He was playing something like 'night of the living dead 2'??
The graphics looked pretty amazing for back then but I hear it got a bad press.

Heh, I remember reading something like this a while back. Good that you included the counter-argument.

I love how Halo 3 is a full point hehe.

Humorous. Lets do about 10 or 15 points on how the Wii is like the Dreamcast too. There are similarties there too.

There are always similarties between other systems....It's always like that.

The biggest point Im suprised they DIDNT say was the 360 had the same price point as the dreamcast.

It's too bad Sega couldn't be handling the Xbox 360 in Japan (maybe call it something different there but with the Sega name), I have a feeling it would be selling a lot better just on that.

well, I say ... Bullshit lol
you could always found similarity between different console from different generation.
They just have selected some argument that was share between Dreamcast and Xbox360 and some others that were not.
And even more the fact to consider an argument as positive or not (23 - shared with dreamcast, 10 + not shared), is highly subjective.

Dreamcast was an exellent console that should not have failled like it did.
But in the past, the PS2 hype was simply IRRATIONALLY HUGE.
People wanted to buy it even with no good game out... In fact they just believed on Sony.

Right Now, this "believe" has decreased and all the 3 consoles possess supporters. This will maybe make this war more "balanced"
