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 had a lot of fun on this console, but I don’t think it would have been able to compete with Sony and Microsoft.

Maybe if it played the Nintendo way, deciding to be really different and not focus on power but on simple games.

Well back then, Nintendo wasn't like this, at least not on the home console market. The Gamecube was pretty powerful for its time, more so than the PS2 some would say.

Yeah you’re right. I should’ve said « the way Nintendo is acting nowadays ».

GameCube was a beast when I bought it.
