100%. I did my part supporting it when it was out.

If Sega didn’t make the 32X, the r&d could’ve gone to the Saturn to make it a better system 3D wise, which would later help the Dreamcast.

If it wasn't for the SEGA/Sammy merger, SEGA would've likely joined the ranks of companies like Hudson and had their IPs liquidated / bought up by other corps. Sammy's pachislot money helped fund the diversification of the SEGA brand and they got way more into other IPs and fields. SEGA owns Miku!

genuinely the start point of the ttrpg ive been writing for 7 years is that in their universe every company but dreamcast went under and despite having literal devils in that universe its maybe a better one then ours

There was nothing we could have done, it was all part of Microsoft's plan... they played us like a damn fiddle

I don't disagree, but I'd also preface that with "If we allowed the PC Engine to be itself in the U.S. and become successful, and..."

Unfortunately, I always saw the first XBOX and 360 as the Dreamcast 1.5 and Dreamcast 2. Hi everyone! I am Sosadillatron: Mr. Reply Guy and destroyer of well meaning joke posts!

I tried but my parents didn't want to buy it And then the PS2 came 😔

Dreamcast was my first sega system. It was amazing, the screens on the controller made playing NFL2K so fun against friends. Crazy Taxi, NBA2K, NHL2K, soul caliber, it was one of my favorite systems of all time

all i see is facts

Which mess? It doesn’t matter. If we had Dreamcast they’d all be sorted.

But the ps2 plays dvds !

Being able to just play burned games without a mod chip made it awesome but definitely didn't help it make money

An alternative timeline I could definitely get behind.

We could have got people to care about the Dreamcast like all these idiots care about cr*pto and AI...

Do you know if there are any intellectual essays on the subject? I think it should be documented by someone.

Yeah I bought one and a boatload of games. There could've been room for it along side the PlayStation.

Shame, the Dreamcast could've did the thinking for the country

I got one on launch day, we went 50 miles for it, I still have my orange launch day t-shirt (it's too small for me).

Dreamcast died too soon, man My family got three of them so we supported it as much as we could

don't look at me, I was in grade school importing games for that mf

When we allowed the Saturn to fail, I knew we were doomed.
