SEGA!!!! there is no console better than the dreamcast!
this 128bit power house may not be getting much attention nowadays but doggonit its sttill the greatest so take a hammer to your playstation and order this great console. infinity stars!!!!!!
Dreamcast is the best ever The dreamcast totaly rules it is easily the best console ever. i never had the money to by a videogame console. when i was little I fell in love with sonic since than i been a sega fan i always hated how nes. Was always on top. SEGA always was the best in my book it just didnt have the money and the power to stand up to the cheap nes not to say that nes sucks but it was cheap and in some ways superior to sega though minnor differences. The dreamcast was and is the next generation of gamming and started it all. Later on the x-box stole it's idenity and with it hyped up computer software stupid typical americans fall prey to the sort of thing do to there egos and their jealousy and envy of the japanese destroyed Dreamcat name in america. So it never reach it true potienal in the us market it not hard in japan they praticaly breathe videogames It is culutural not just veiw as dolar signs. The Dreamcast was simple, original, powerful with great quality and potintal. Because of this it constricted with no limits. It keep pepole fome complaning about every little thing so americans didn't like it. They got have a game consule do every thing hell with your Xbox you dont need a computer anymore. No self independence what so ever no individuality and that what americans call freedom. So since i dont speak japanese im screwed but i think the dreamcast sould make a come back and crush them all. With full power of the japanese market behide it with the us cosent. I dont compltley think that it is the consumer i belive this ocured because american businessmen fear it potiental. Its to Authentic for their taste.
DC still remains a classic This was my first console- And I loved it. The graphics can still be matched to current gen, and the controller is very comfy. Xbox gamers will be reminicient of the predecessor of the Controller S; PS2 fans can appreciate the colour-bled graphics, and Nintendo gamers can browse around the great titles on offer. Although it is not in service now, Dreamcast Online was what started it all, and Xbox Live would be, well, non existent. My DC is a little cranky from time to time, but after hours of Resi 4 or Burnout 3, I like to sit down with my DC, and play Sonic Adventure 2. For me, this is the definitive console that really did start it all- it's a bit like the McLaren F1 against the Bugatti Veyron; there would have been no contender for the fastest car in the world if McLaren hadn't bothered- and one thing is for sure-Sega's last console will never be forgotten.
