I don't know why the Dreamcast never took off as a popular game console. If you ask me the graphics are great and the controls are pretty easy to use. I think that it is just about as good as PS2 but they just aren't making as many games for it and PS2 is just getting all the "brand name" games such as Metal Gear Solid 2 or the Final Fantasy games. If you ask me the Dreamcast is one of the most underated game systems out there.

Fair point mate, but when you say 'Genesis' do you mean Saturn? Genesis was the American version of the Mega Drive, which was competing against the SNES of course...

I suppose your right! Gar-J.... but i suppose you cant say that for everyone, after all I do have a Playstation and my brother has a PS2..
But you are right when you say that, cos Dreamcast had sooo many original and great things to offer PS2 never did, and as I said it was all down to history, if the Genesis did better than Playstation, then it would be the winning console at the moment!!!
Its all down to history and Sony fans were awaitng the sequel of the PS.
But I really wish DC had done amazingly well, SEGA derserve it!!!!!

I agree!
SEGA did release a lot of quality SEGa games.... but they lacked thrid party support on DC and that really let them down, its also down to history, Genesis did worse than PLaystation, and from then on Sony had a bigger fan base than SEGA which leads to PS2 doing better than DC!
As you said, how could it have failed! It had everything going for it:
Online Play (a first)
First 128 bit
£100 cheaper than PS2
Small
VMU!!! (very original)
Lots of perpherals
