The Original Xbox is the Sega Dreamcast 2 ? | MVG

The Original Xbox was release in 2001 - the same year the Sega Dreamcast ceased hardware production.
Many people believe that the original Xbox is actually the followup to the Dreamcast that Sega wanted.
In this video we take a deep dive into the relationship that Sega and Microsoft had, and how the original Xbox is truly the follow up to the Dreamcast that Sega always wanted.

Never thought it was the "Dreamcast 2," but it was absolutely the spiritual successor. Between the series that started on DC and continued on Xbox and the emphasis on online gaming, they were definitely closer than the Dreamcast was with anything else at the time.

[@LambdaCalculus379]

I can absolutely see the Xbox being considered a spiritual successor of sorts to the Dreamcast. Sega saw the writing on the wall and did the smart thing in their partnership with Microsoft. The Sega games on the Xbox are some of the best games on the system! Thanks for an excellent video as always, MVG!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

It totally is. Microsoft actually worked on the Dreamcast with Sega. And the Xbox controller is basically an evolution of the Dreamcast controller

Same. In my mind the original Xbox was always like a succesor to the dreamcast and related to the SEGA family of consoles. The Xbox's design looks like it evolved from SEGA's consoles. If SEGA were still making consoles they would probably look like the modern day Xbox series. To me, its as if SEGA still lives as a console through the Xbox

To me, underrated is a bit of a stretch once Halo and Halo 2 is brought up in discussion. For many, those were "THE Xbox games".

[@honkhonkler7732]

Only in sales. It was better than the PS2 in every way. The PS2 only led the sales race because it had a head start and was a DVD player. The Xbox was a year late and needed a remote to play DVDs. How good the Xbox was is why the Xbox 360 got such a strong start out of the gate. Microsoft exclusives were top notch during that decade as well. Sony had good titles, but none as impactful and iconic as Halo during that period. That's not to mention the extra power, hard drive and Xbox live.

It's interesting that on-screen it states "Powered by Windows CE", but on the front of the console it states "Compatible with Windows CE". Ever since I first got my Dreamcast years ago, I always wondered what "Compatible with Windows CE" meant. Thank you for explaining it.

[@FloridaManRacer]

It's 100% the "spiritual successor" to the Dreamcast. There's too many defined links between the Chihiro board and the actual want of SEGA to make that the case... In a way I'm glad that's what happened. It's nice to know as a fan of the Dreamcast that when I turn on my original XBOX, I'm getting what SEGA would've basically made. As the Dreamcast was to the Naomi, the XBOX is to Chihiro. The home console version of the latest SEGA Arcade lineup. Great video.

[@NiGHTS1980]

I owned the Dreamcast at launch and when it was dying there was talk back then that Microsoft had a strong working relationship with Sega and that their upcoming Xbox console would carry the torch for Sega...at least early on. Nevertheless, I went from Dreamcast to Xbox for that very reason alone. Games like Gunvalkyrie were actually originally developed for Dreamcast late in it's life and when the system ended development moved to Xbox.

[@dargis49]

Loved my Dreamcast.

[@CommodoreFan64]

In some ways yes the Xbox was suppose to be the next Dreamcast, but with SEGA having branched out into making games for other consoles, and portables soon after no it was not because SEGA did not remain exclusive to the Xbox. One thing that always puzzled me was why Microsoft never bought SEGA, and made them exclusive which would have given them an excellent 2nd party dev instead of buying RARE, and doing jack shit with it. but in hindsight I'm glad SEGA stayed 3rd party.

[@Thomas-te2lg]

Actually I think Microsoft did want to buy Sega, but Sega refused. Also Microsoft did use Rare when they bought them, but pretty much any title Rare cooked up was generally lambasted.

[@CommodoreFan64]

Thomas Ruth if that's true, then it would have been down to SEGA of Japan, and their stubbornness. Far as RARE goes under Microsoft, the only thing they have remotely done well was RARE Replay, and it still did not make me want to go out, and buy a Microsoft console to play it, like RARE did in their glory days of the N64. In fact RARE games where one of the big reasons I got into collecting for the N64. So in my book that still counts as Microsoft not really doing jack shit with RARE.

[@naughtygawd3269]

True. I think the reason the xbox didn't sell well in Japan was the lack of Japanese titles

[@CommodoreFan64]

NaughtyGawd That had some part to play in it for sure, but Japanese consumers are very nationalistic overall, and prefer to support home grown companies such as Nintendo, and SONY over Microsoft when it comes to their console preferences. No outside console has done well in Japan, Atari failed, along with the Apple Pippin, and it even had the backing of Bandai. The main reason Apple has done so well in Japan far as their computers, and other hardware is because overall since the 80's they have had better support for typing, and displaying the Japanese language.

[@JBadAss98Gameing]

It's not xbox's fault that RARE can't develop a game to save their own damned lives after the year 2001. As a company, they suck cock, and you must now accept that, or keep lying to yourself.

When you said the Japanese release date of the Dreamcast was in November of 1998 I had to double check that, because I'll never forget 9/9/99 as the day the system came out in North America (same day as Final Fantasy 8 IIRC). Anyway, I had no idea that the Dreamcast was out in Japan for 10 months before it came here. That's insane.

Thank you for making this video. I have been saying since 2002 that the Xbox was the newer brother to the Dreamcast. The Sega games that went to Xbox, the 4 controller ports, the 2 ports on the controller used for memory and communication (Dreamcast had the mic stick and Xbox plug in for headphones). They both had built in internet connections. Back to the controllers, similar layouts, letters for buttons and almost the same colors for those buttons. I believe some of the very same developers of Dreamcast went over to Xbox. I love how you even went into the true technology that is used by both systems. I have been a long time Seag fan, well collections include Saturn and Dreamcast, so I approve of this video, since I was just going to make one....well now I can't.

This is an interesting point I've been pondering recently. I'm predominantly a PC/PS/Nintendo gamer and so for that reason I'm glad they didn't buy Sega, but one would have to assume that Microsoft had discussions about it being a possibility early on. Consoles are driven by exclusive software, and if Microsoft could have said, 'We have all of Sega's games, we have Halo' etc, it would have been a much stronger value proposition from them. To this day, XBOX's biggest problem is worthwhile exclusive content beyond Halo and Gears.

While I agree that the Dreamcast was impressive for it's time, there were other systems that were just as important to gaming. Don't forget Nintendo who basically saved the north american market (although the "crash" only happened there).

Great video mate I grew up with Sega from the great arcade days and still love them always

[@benvanasdale6273]

It's funny, before I purchased (and ultimately enjoyed) my original Xbox in 2003, I always teased it as the "Dreamcast 2" haha. I switched to Xbox with the 360, and love my Xbox One. I'm glad they've added original Xbox titles to backward compatibility, although seeing all your videos makes me want to get an original again and mod it. Great channel, new sub here.

Much more powerful than the PS2.

[@CommodoreFan64]

Even the GameCube was more powerful then the PS2, it only won that generation mainly because of the built in DVD drive for movies that did not need a special remote to access like the Xbox, and when the PS2 was released in Japan it was the cheapest DVD player in the country.

Commodorefan64 and remember,playstation was a well known brand so people bought because they thought it was good because of ps1.but good start for og xbox

[@CommodoreFan64]

Randomthingz2show Randomthingz2show True, back then the SONY name still held some weight for "quality" even outside of gaming products, and even more so in Japan, so I'm sure that had a factor in the success of the PS2 as well, but how times have changed because now outside of home console gaming(even that's starting to faultier somewhat for them), few people think of SONY as their go to brand for electronics, it's now Samsung who holds that spot for a lot of people, or who ever is the cheapest on sale at Walmart or Amazon that day they need something.

[@gavinr9107]

Commodorefan64 the PS2 was the best selling console of all time. The DVD component does not account for that being the sole reason it was so successful. The games library was massive and it had a lot of great exclusives and third party support. Give credit where it is due.

Hardware alone doesn't mean much. The PS3, if programmed for properly, is a beast. However, it was a nightmare for devs compared to the 360. If you can't take advantage of the hardware, power means nothing.

if u heard the audio of any of MVG's videos in the 1700's you would for sure think this guy is a real wizard

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

I always felt like it was at least a spiritual successor. Thanks for all the info.

[@brlvper4]

I always knew they shared a huge vibe. The controller and graphics give it all away.

[@jaekoff5050]

Small correction, the STV hardware was based on the Saturn hardware, not the other way around.

[@joshreynolds869]

I went to type that but made sure to check the comments first. I'm glad the comments didn't let me down lol

[@EposVox]

Interesting look!

[@soarerska]

Mind blown, great video

[@UltorCXXVIII]

Wonderful video, thank you so much Sir!

[@JMFSpike]

Yes, I think it's pretty clear that the X-Box is pretty much the successor to the Dreamcast. The evidence strongly suggests that Sega wanted Microsoft to continue their legacy.

[@Halbared]

More like they wanted to go into business together and then something happened that ruined it; like Nintendo/SOny and all the other failed partnerships.

[@Clay3613]

OG Xbox is bestbox.

[@aeonjoey3d]

i fondly remember having it running my zunepass, XBMC for my bootleg vids, emulators for NES, SNES, etc. it was my all in one entertainment system. nothing is like that today.

[@arthurbrax6561]

Really good video, you just got a new sub!!!!!!

[@MrScrotumz]

Great video!, dude!
