[Classic] Dreamcast Love it or hate it?

I found the Dreamcast charming. The look, size, the controller (yes, even the controller), VMU and the games were awesome and though it may not have had the power to compare to the PS2, it still produced some nice graphics.

As posted before, it would have been interesting to see if Sega would be able to regain ground had they not killed the Dreamcast. The PS2 didn't start off with a huge BANG so Sega might have been able to capitalise it with a push in advertising and pointing out the "Great" games to "crap" games ratio. Of course even if they did, no one listened to them, probably due to Sega's Houdini-like existance in the PSX/N64 era. "Sega who?"

Sega! Why did you pull out of the hardware business? Sure you were losing wads of cash, but to forfeit out of the console race just for the short-term quick buck?

Of course, no one can predict the market but Microsoft took a while to create profits with their Xbox (but then there's the Bill Gates factor). I suppose jumping out was the safer thing to do than wait.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
