The Sega Dreamcast (lemmy.world)

It is undeniable that the dreamcast was a solid machine that had good games and a sleek look, but was ultimately overshadowed by the goliath that is the PS2.

What do you guys think, how could the Dreamcast kept surviving? Should SEGA thought reeling back the Saturn?

It certainly was praised, but didn't get the chance it needed, personally I considered it to be a part of the prior gen (N64, PS1)

Let me know your thoughts!

I loved the Dreamcast. It was a great console that was ahead of its time in so many ways.

The problem was, that despite being a lot, it was too little too late.

Sega was trying to run after shooting itself in both feet with its failures (particularly in the West) with the Saturn and the 32X.
