The future is with Shenmue according to Sega.
I emailed them about their woeful advertising campaign and they emailed me back. Unfortunately I emailed them via my DC so I have had to copy everything down on to paper and now type it up. This is what they say:
''We have always believed that the Dreamcast is capable of selling itself: it is after all, the first games console to be able to access the internet and it has even won awards for its innovative design. This does not mean that we do not support it with advertising and the ChuChu Rocket advertising that you refer to was actually very successful and gave a massive boost to the number of registered Dreamarena users. This is very important to the success of the Dreamcast, as we try to expand the services currently online, which in turn allows us to communicate with our customers. Rest assured that there will be more advertising, particularly as we approach ley times such as Christmas. I'm quite certain we can carry our success into 2001'

'In regards to the Playstation2, Sony have informed us that they will not be concentrating on European markets, as their main ambition is to sell their machine to home and US markets, therefore we can guarantee that the Dreamcast will have the largest userbase untill the Nintendo Game Cube'

I notice they do not mention the X-box, are they not afraid?
They have many games companys on their side now, (only three any good, lionhead, the people who made xwing allience, and the people who made the motocross madness series.)
I find humour in the fact that now offically, no company (Sega, Nintendo or Microsoft) are scared of the Ps2. All scared of eachother.
