Default Re: ITT we discuss gaming market trends

The Dreamcast was a solid system with a few great titles (I loved Power Stone, personally), but Sega just mismanaged so many things (trying to toss out all those hardware add-ons with the Genesis just did not work).

What really matters are the games. If you can secure the third-party devs, you've usually got something good going for you. Almost every console that's been able to do this has come out on top. If you had trouble with the devs (either due to lack of market penetration like the Gamecube or having a system that was tough to code for such as the Saturn), your system was a flop.
