PS was 300, saturn was 400 and N64 was 200. So the dreamcast was cheaper than the PREVIOUS gen systems lol This seriously kills the whole “price” argument.
…RN… my hate for you is now over 9000. “IT’S THINKING” IS NOW PERMANANTLY ENGRAVED INTO MY HEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!
…that went well.
Dreamcast is definitly not the “King Of Fighters”.
The PlayStation 2 passed it up a LOOOOONG time ago. Accept it and deal with it 
PlayStation 2 > Dreamcast
Start a club. However, you can invalidate my point if you can tell me what the PS2’s launch slogan was without looking it up…
*comes out of the audience and looks at the camera.*I was skeptical at first but after reading my buddy RN’s analysis, I’m convinced. I sure can’t remember 
You do realize we’re friends, iight?
- I’m surprised that this debate is still going on.
…that went well.
<3’s to you guys.
To get off the price thing though. It’s in my opinion that DC is still the king as far as domestic releases maybe. I mean most the worthwhile fighters for PS2 are import, which alot of people are just not willing to put the time or money into it.
The Playstation had Final Fantasy, the N64 had Zelda, Dreamcast had a suck-ass 3D Sonic? There really wasn’t a a wide spread mass game that people wanted to play on the DC.
Consoles are really only as strong as the games that run on them - especially exclusives and launch titles. That’s why backwards compatibility is such a big deal (and why people are not happy when it doesn’t work). The fact is that the Dreamcast, was ahead of its time in many ways, but really didn’t have any killer exclusives or strong launch titles – at least for the US market.
I’m also not sure that SEGA was willing to put in the same sort of marketing money that Sony or Nintendo were willing to use. After all, it’s not at all clear that competing in the console market is all that profitable. (Consider all the stories of MS losing $100 per Xbox.)
Live in your world, play in ours?
I think that’s it, and I didn’t look it up.
;p
Dammit. Foiled already. 
One system / company used ‘Play Loud / Hard’ or something along those lines, can’t quite remember who though.
You mean Japanese PS2 > DC because there are barely ANY fighters in America being released for the PS2. Whatwith SCEA’s stance on 2D gaming.
Sega > Sony in terms of fighters if you wanna go down the company route too. It’s that simple.
Play It Loud - Nintendo Game Boy. Jokes on them: The speakers were crap.
…that went well.
N64-The Fun Machine!..lol
And 9/9/99 was the day that Final Fantasy XIII was released! Was Dreamcast really released the same day? 
Yup 9/9/99 DC launch will never forget it, lol and I’m pretty sure FF XIII was not released on 9/9/99. Got the new one on your brain I see 
Actually the N64-the Fun Machine wasn’t their slogan for the 1st Gen.
it was
We will change the system
and i think their slogan changed a couple of times, and the last one was get N or get out…
Fair enough the Dreamcast could boot copies easilly, but they wheren’t easilly extracted. Try putting a GD-ROM in your DVD drive, you wont get much. It was actually one of the more complicated methods to pirate as the only way to copy the game was from the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM drive it’s self.
Kalysto > Sega…
lol. You’re right on that one… but I still disagree on Sega’s advertising. I thought the campaign kicked ass (definitely gets in your head), but commercials and ads weren’t spread nearly as widely as Sony’s. After their cable channel (I thought that was interesting when I had my Genesis), 32x, and Saturn flopped economically speaking, they didn’t have the money for advertising that Nintendo and Sony had.
I was still 9, btw 
and I didn’t pirate games beside my sole Japanese copy of CVS2. I’ve put over $200 into my collection for the DC and still go down to Pink Godzilla :lovin: (a specialty store and bar in Seattle) to get the hard-to-find games that I didn’t find before.
