Sega Dreamcast 2

theDreamer · 08-06-2009, 01:02 PM

The big reason the dreamcast failed was lack of games (or dev support). I could see a DC2 selling very well but taking on the Wii or 360/PS3 would be a challenge. I would love to see someone kick Nintendo off their high horse.

You guys don't remember sega cd, 32x, Saturn, game gear? sega doesn't support it's own hardware. Never ever wish for another sega game system.

Does anyone know if Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast is single player, since there's no servers up?

Almost - but no cigar... the reason the dreamcast failed is because it was too easy to pirate games... this lead to people who made these games not make em any more... no revenue to game devs = no games = no more dreamcast

By that logic PS1 should have too since people having pirating PS1 games by the boatload. I mean piracy is one of the reason why it failed but it's not the main reason why it failed. Other reasons include premature launch(to beat PS2's launch date,) lack of support from third party developers, lack of DVD capability, Sega's lack of support in its own system(nothing new, look at their support for Sega CD, Saturn, Master System, etc,)
