The PS3 is not the Dreamcast or the Sega CD or the Nomad or the 32X etc. 20 million consoles in 2 years with a $400-$600 price tag its a great number. Right where 360 was 6 months ago before it dropped ti a sub Wii price. Would you have said that 360 was the next Dreamcast 6 months ago? No, you only seem to love to post doom and gloom PS3 threads.
So who has the numbers sold for Dreamcast?
Remember how a lot of people were drawing parallels between the 360 and Dreamcast before the launch of the 360?
The 360 has gone far beyond the DC though. Selling nearly triple the amount of consoles and Microsoft is doing very well in the 360 department.

Now that's just ridiculous. You may not like what Vagabond posted, but accusing him of bias just because of one thread (despite him owning a PS3) is simply inappropriate.
Pbroy: The PS3 is so far from the Saturn in so many ways. You could argue that the hardware and business strategies are vaguely similar, but when it comes to games, demographics, sales, power/hardware prowess, brand name, etc., the two don't even compare.
I agree.
It won't be the top in sales, but if you look at the awards from VGC itself, Games on the PS3 did very well in GotY categories, and the schedule is packed. I think that Sony has done a great job in software, but met some unfortunate hardships in other avenues.
Oh would you look at that PS3 has already doubled Dreamcasts sales. comparing PS3 to Dramcast is trolling IMO.

More or less, except the PS3 has a much wider variety of multi-plat games than the Dreamcast did since the Dreamcast came out so early.
So honestly its more like the Dreamcast+.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
