I stopped playing my dream cast and took a glance at my shelf where I keep all my new consoles. There was my game cube and ps2 but there was no new and improved Sega console. Sega for me was the champion when it came to the console wars. But when they decided to stop making anymore consoles I was shocked.
Now days there are 3 main console giants the game cube, x box, ps2. All with excellent graphics and sounds and each one brings something new to the gaming table. But what if Sega had stayed in the game, who knows maybe right now we could have been playing a console ahead of its time.
Despite the fact they continue to make games I believe that since they are no longer in the console war they haven’t got that urge, passion, competitive spirit they had before which made them work harder and be more creative to come up with such classic games.

Of course there were things such as Shenmue, but a lot of Sega's games seemed to fall short just as they were getting good (Phantasy Star online for instance was a great idea but ultimately became a glorified chatroom as there was little variation and there just wasn't enough to do).
Thankfully a bit of shallow multiplayer in the right genres (not RPG dammit!) is perfect for 8-16 players online and it's no wonder Sega have done so well with many of their online titles.
