I find it funny when people always think there console is better because it has like 100Mhz more of speed of its a small nifty box etc, you get this a lot with these people who play PC games. The point is consoles are for class games. When Sony first made the PS its outcome was unclear. It was a new entering into the market to go up against Sega and nintendo, long established firms i may ad. There where critics, but the great games it provided made it sell above the rest even though it ddnt have as much power or speed - even at one point completeing with the DC. A few years on we now are coming up to 2002. The point im saying is that Sony came into the market and the future was unclear. Sega is now out of the race completely but is being replaced by a new challenger to the title of great games console (that the PS2 has won for this year) but could X-Box do to the games industry what the Playstation did?
The answer could be yes if it actaully signed up the right games, but really the PS has the right games with sequels so does it stand a chance?
The GC is the only new console that doesnt have DVD - s0omething which although some may say is of poor quality IS a selling point of the PS2. So let us unite in this forum and show the GC and XBox people that we have the better selection of games, ans will wi the console war in the end. The futures bright, the futures PS2,3,4,5 :)

Japanese people want the DC as there are a few great games that have been released, Shenmue 2 and Virtua Tennis 2.
yeah they have actually restarted making new ones....
frankly at this time i would go for one of the next gen consoles instead of dc seeing as all the best games are going over to them.....

I think they're doing both. I've heard that they are converting US machines, but i've heard they are restarting the production line aswell.
The dreamcast is really doing well in Japan because its so cheap. If I had some extra cash, I would buy one.

From what I heard, Sega are NOT making new DCs... they are converting unsold American ones to be sold in Japan.

Afro Joe, i aint but its all true if u think about it except 4 as u pointed out DC are being contined to sell more, then again they are bringing back the speccy so any things possible!
Yeah, remember that no matter how powerful a console is, even if it has loads of innovative features tagged on, it won't sell at all if it doesn't have a killer game, or in the PS2's case, a combo of great games.
Mr Matrix, I would like to tell you now, that Sega is not out of buisness. They have started on production of the DC again after high demand.
And could we all stop with the insulting of other companies and the console war topics? It is getting a little more than a tad boring now.
