Comment on How Sega Planned To Crush Nintendo, 24 Years Agoparent

Comments

If you do follow up with a new article you should cover why the Dreamcast failed in more detail. As I recall it failed for a variety of reasons but the one that stands out was it's high price but lack of DVD playback while the PS2 and XBOX were priced competitively but had that.

I had a dreamcast when they launched. Sega Bass Fishing, House of the Dead 2, Sonic, and Crazy Taxi were awesome.

Dreamcast was largely a commercial success. It largely failed due to the massive debt incurred during the Saturn/32x era. Sega just couldn't back it like they wanted to.
