Dreamcast - This system did a lot in the short time it was out. I was annoyed to see it go out as fast as it did, but I didn't realize Sega's financial situation was as bad as it was or that it did as poorly as it did in Japan or how important EA was.

PS2 - Still going strong. Might end up being the best system of the following generation as well if support continues for it.

GC - Ugh...I rooted for Nintendo for awhile, but they really did botch the way they handled this system. The spotlight was on the idiotic GBA connectivity idea, while Microsoft and Sony were showing off their online features. Brilliant. They basically threw in the towel when that idea tanked (highlighted by Final Fantasy and Zelda titles failing to lure people into it). Not nearly enough new 3rd party software and I didn't care for much of the 1st party stuff either, with the various Mario Sports games and Mario Party games becoming downright annoying. They might as well have killed this sytem off at the start of 2005...It hasn't done a thing since (except tease people with a Zelda delay...a good idea regarding the Wii though).

XBOX - It did okay. It didn't really have the exclusive (or Japanese) content of PS2, but the online features were the best of the consoles this time around. I got one mostly for online fighters, but it's also nice having the better versions of most multi-console games. Fine for a rookie console attempt.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
