Pal88 here

Theres loads of rumours spreading about why the dreamcast failed.

Around my name the dreamcast failed because the controllers were too big and look easy to break.

This is however rubbish because i own a Dreamcast and ive dropped the controller loads of times and did it break no it didnt (funny that huh).
Dont get me wrong i love the dreamcast and find myself playing on it every day of the week.

But people who go round spreading rumours just dont seem to realize that they are destroying the games industry and so people like that i hate.

I've never heard of this rumour being substantiated in any way or form. What do you mean "around your name"?

I don't understand the correlation between criticising a controller and ruining the games industry. It's like saying Saddam was behind 9/11...
