In 1999, we were introduced to the Sega Dreamcast and as quickly as it came, it went away. Neogaf user, Goodcow, found a old CNBC video report on the Dreamcast in the year 2000. Ten seconds in, you can get a glimpse of why the Dreamcast may have died. Peter Moore kicking a soccer ball in the office may seem fun but it doesn’t move consoles. We’ll at least they were right about online gaming being huge on the consoles.

I've still got my Dreamcast, a great console. I'd say it was Sega's best console. No console is perfect, but if only it'd beed a DVD console, I think it'd sold a lot better, and had a chance of taking on the PS2. But that's all history now.
The DC dies because it was trying to compete against the N64, which was revolutionizing high quality 3D graphics at the time, and the PS1, which was revolutionizing CD technology and had a bunch of games that were huge hits. As good as the DC was as a console, it stood no chance. Had it come out 6 months to a year earlier things might have been different.
yo creo que el dremecast se callo por que sega no le dio el enpuje suficiente a su consola. era tremenda consolq
hola jonathan, que onda? The dreamcast had the games but not having a dvd player with it killed it
The Dreamcast died only because SEGA whimped out and decided to do only games. They felt the DC would not far well against the impending PS2 and XBOX release. They was wrong! I really think the DC could have held it's own and was ahead of it's time.
The Dreamcast far and away blew all other consoles at the time
I miss my dreamcast man, they had a lot of hot exclusive and original games.
It did not get any support from EA! Plain and simple, no Madden.

i kno people who made mad sneaker money from selling dreamcast games
Yeah, it didn’t get off to a good start even though it did have some good games to start with. The online play wasn’t perfect, and EA didn’t support it because they’d asked Sega to stop making sports games which they refused to do. Also, Sega spent a lot of money developing the GD-ROM format, even though some games came on CD-ROM. I still say that if it’d been a DVD console, it’d of been a different story. And who cared if it’d come second to the PS2, Sega would of sold a lot more consoles. I think it had a userbase of something like 10 million.
