[@JoeCool7835]

#10 is flat-out wrong. Sega was severely damaged by their fumbles with the Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn. Those missteps damaged the company's reputation so much that the Dreamcast was doomed to fail. If you want to blame anything for Sega's fall, blame those pieces of hardware.

[@Yukon_83]

Same ain't even know this was the problem until I watched a video about it two years ago be like ohh fuck we're doomed I really love Dreamcast but ask anyone about it today they'll look at you silly like what's that um it's .a Game that got over shadowed by dumbass shit

[@Mickelraven]

I think Sega knew that they were doomed no matter what, because of the possibility that Sony might make another PlayStation. So instead of Sega releasing the Dreamcast around the same time as the PlayStation 2, they released it a year ahead of the PS2, so they would have the headstart and get those early console generation sales. But it didn't work, since when the PlayStation 2 came out, it came with one of the most ambitious and marketed feature at the time. DVD playback, which the Dreamcast didn't have. I think the Dreamcast could've succeeded even better, if the Dreamcast came with a DVD player, and still being released in 1999 (1998 in Japan). But I think it was still impossible at the time, since the DVD format was still in its early infancy. So if the Dreamcast released in 1998 DVD player, it would've been expensive af. So it didn't really matter if Sega did a 6th generation console or not, they would've been doomed anyways, thanks to the reputation they got from the Sega DC, 32X and Saturn.

[@alternator7893]

They released too many consoles too fast, that being said, some of my fondest memories are from my sega genesis and sega CD.

[@JoeCool7835]

@@alternator7893 I won't deny those pieces of hardware had great games. Grandia 2 on Dreamcast & Shining Force CD on Sega CD are among my 100 favorites. However, those don't begin to make up for Sega's business screw-ups.

[@TheKoolPlayer69]

Strongly agreed. Dreamcast was a breath of fresh air. Game gear, Sega CD, 32x, and even the Saturn were the failures. I also remember the dreamcast being released in 99. Not 98 like watchmojo stated. As I remember the date being 9.9.99. But I could be mistaken. Dreamcast launch library was better than ps2 launch in my opinion. Soulcalibur looked better on the dreamcast than it did in Arcades. It definitely should not be seen as Sega's true failure.

Doubt the Dreamcast was the ruin for sega. It was the sega Saturn that killed sega but the Dreamcast was just too late and didn't have the dvd

[@InJeffable]

The Saturn was an overpriced dud. Not as bad as the 3DO, but that's what I would lump it in with. I think it would have been better for Sega to stick with the 32X (low price and they already had a huge install base of Genesis owners for it) and then release the Dreamcast a few years down the road as their next big thing. The release of the Saturn so soon after the 32X debuted destroyed consumer confidence in the Sega brand.

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

i can't agree on the Dreamcast ruining Sega...it was the final straw sure but Sega had been making bad decisions since the Sega CD and I'd say the Saturn was even more important in why they stop making consoles.. those Kanoa headphones remind me of Gushers and it's impossible to see an Aztek without thinking of Breaking Bad...the same with the Delorean and Back To The Future

[@philmartin7928]

I disagree that the Dreamcast “killed” Sega. I personally think the Sega Saturn is the culprit. As soon as that system released, Sega explicitly stated they were “moving on”, completely screwing up Sega.

[@zalera262]

Even tho the sales of the DreamCast was lackluster, due to be ahead of its time and rampant piracy on its proprietary format, the damages from the Saturn was too big for Sega to make a real comeback

[@jet8745]

Agreed the Saturn ruined the reputation of Sega because it lacked 3rd party support cause it was so horrible to develop for, which is sad as the Dreamcast was and still is an amazing little machine :)

[@raoulk35]

The Sega 32x and all the different genesis upgrades diluted and confused the market. You had Sega of Japan and Sega USA on different pages releasing competing products and further harming the brand.

The Dreamcast was a nearly perfect console with fantastic games. The short lifespan and lack of support for the Saturn destroyed Segas reputation and Dreamcast couldn't pull it out of the toilet.

[@kevinbeckman4726]

Just the online play alone was leaps ahead. Sony never really took online play seriously with the PS2, but Sega was already making great use out of online games like Phantasy Star Online, Alien Front Online, Unreal Tournament, Quake III Arena, Every 2K sports game, Capcom vs SNK 2. I know Saturn had already ruined the Dreamcast's chances, but there was so much potential there with the online games.

[@THE_VictoryPictures]

The Dreamcast didn't 'ruin' Sega, it just forced them out of the console manufacturing business. If I were to pick a console that killed their brand, it would be the Sega Saturn. Despite a being a great console like the Dreamcast, the way they marketed the Sega brand in the US resulted in the Saturn failing in the west: they surprise released the console to stay ahead of Sony and their PlayStation console, and as a result, several stores like KB Toys refused to sell the system. Aside from that, launch titles were unfinished due to the rushed release, which put a very sour taste in gamers' mouths. The final nail in the coffin would be when then SOA (Sega Of America) president Bernie Stolar said "The Saturn is not our future" at a press conference. The failure of the Saturn made Sega consider marketing their newest system, the Dreamcast, as its own brand as not to scare away potential customers due to their lackluster reputation in the west, and for the most part it did. The Dreamcast sold very well, but because of the PlayStation 2's extended capabilities such as a built-in DVD player and PS2 discs having more capacity than the Dreamcast's GD-ROMs, the Dreamcast was abandoned shortly after the highly successful release of their competition's console.

[@dinohermann1887]

Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA were notorious for having technical issues, because they were rushed to release on May '95 instead of September '95. I believe Sega did fix those issues regarding VF1 and released "Virtua Fighter Remix" later on. But at that point it was too late!

I think the analysis of both Dreamcast and Atari are flawed. “ET” wasn’t what broke Atari, and the Dreamcast was a decent iteration off Genesis. When did PlayStation 2 launch? And when did the original Sega and particularly NES with Mario launch? Consumer demand dropped when other companies released platforms that became wildly popular.

Big flub on the #10 there. If anything, the Dreamcast was the strongest console Sega released since the Genesis. It was everything inbetween that slowly chipped away at the company. The CD and 32X add-ons, the Saturn's failure of a release... honestly the most significant thing that killed the Dreamcast wasn't even its own fault - but rather, the fact that the biggest competing console shipped with a built-in DVD player, which made it a relatively cheap option for households to combine their gaming and multimedia systems.

It wasn’t the Dreamcast that ended Sega’s console division. It was the last half decade of console decisions that destroyed trust of developers and consumers. The SegaCD, 32X and Saturn all completely ruined sega’s reputation. They released the segacd in 92. Then revised it in 93, then brought out the 32x in 94, in North America, while simultaneously releasing the Saturn in Japan the next day. then screwed over the developers and retailers by having a surprise North American console drop early, in May of 95 instead of the planned day, September 2nd. Not only that, but only 4 retailers were “in on it” for the early release; Toys R Us, babbages, software etc and electronics boutique (the latter 3 are now all the same company). Angering Best Buy and Walmart. And KB Toys straight up dropped all sega products. And it was $100 higher than the PlayStation. The Dreamcast’s initial sales showed that consumers still had hope. In fact, at the time it was the biggest launch day in entertainment history (not just video games, all forms of entertainment, it outperformed the phantom Menace’s opening night) and first 2 weeks in gaming history, they sold half a million units, it took the original PlayStation 4 months to do a half million. but the lack of developers lead to a tiny game library, so after the initial boom, there was no reason for the people who wanted to “wait and see” how it would compare to PS2 to consider Dreamcast. They also, basically, stopped advertising after launch. Sega ruined the Dreamcast, not the Dreamcast ruining sega.

And because of the Saturn, 3rd party support went down the toilet (Blame Bernie Stollair). Hell, I still have my Dreamcast and play it from time to time.

I was in a really bad accident in an aztec and horribly injured my back.

The ps2 killed the dream cast

The Pontiac Aztek helped kill Pontiac. The Aztek is a weird-style SUV. GM killed Pontiac when they went bankrupt in 2009

Dreamcast was and still is an awesome videogame console, SEGA's choices back in the 90's are what killed the company as a console manufacturer, if in fact a product drained SEGA's money back then was the stupid war between SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan, 32X, Sega CD, etc, etc

The Dreamcast's retail sales were effected by bad logistics especially in the EU .

[@SnowNasty]

dreamcast post is missing critical information. DC only failed due to a combination of "products" prior to its release, not THE product itself

[@ilovegarradors]

The dreamcast sold very well even in the U.S. BUT not well enough to save Sega from the crippling debt from all their their previous blunders.
