The reason the Sega machine failed you would have thought was probably the lack of brand recognition compared to PS2.
However I beg to differ and actually think it was the games that were the problem like Shenmue did not appeal to a European's, Crazy taxi was a driver rip-off with rubbish graphics, a mini game in GTA3. Revolt and 18 wheeler all had there part to play in the downfall of the DC.
Then there was the spec not a true 128bit machine, 33k modem next to useless, they said you could play with 6 billion players around the world when infact it was only in the UK and were told off by the British standards for misleading info. When you did get online the only games that you could play online was rubbish like Tu Tu Rocket.
Most games that were online capable in other regions had that feature dropped when it come to Europe or were not even released at all, it had serial ports and a pitiful 16MB ram no wonder it failed and has took until now to shift the remaining 100,000 machines.

I think you'll find that Driver was a rip-off of the Crazy Taxi Arcade game.
