Because of the Saturns RUSH RELEASE date, the console lauched with only ONE game! Virtua Fighter II!
If you didn't like Virtua Fighter, you had no reason to buy a Saturn, which is why IT failed so quick.
As for the Dreamcast, yeah the lack of DVD playback killed it, but I'd say only 60%. I think the other 40% came into play when they figued out the Dreamcast could play burned games.

Infact the Saturn launched with 3 games in the US, Virtua Fighter, Panzer Dragoon and Daytona USA. Other consoles have succeded with that amount of games at launch.

i just hate them. i like metal gear solid...........that's pretty much it. i swore never to buy a sony system since they put sega out of the console making buisness. i mean i'm a nintendo boy through and through, but sega is the only other company of systems i have besides nintedno. i have 6 nintendo systems and 3 sega systems and nothing else.
I just looked up at my PS2 and then thought about all the fun I had with my MegaDrive, then in my head i was shouting "I sold you out Sega, I sold you out!!!!!!! *cries*"
Oh and WE WANT PART TWO!
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I can assure them it is much more serious than that."
Yuikes... I almost... cried at the intro. Dreamcast was such a great system. Even though I would rate PS2 as a better one, Dreamcast is still made out of pure awesomeness.
And yeah, congrats for another youtube subscriber.
I received it as a Christmas gift 4 years ago. I started collecting consoles and my mom found a deal at GameCrazy where they had found some packaged Dreamcasts and games in the back room. They sold it to her along with 10 games, a VMU, and additional controller all in there original unopened packaging for only $30 bucks. I still play it to this day. DC is my favorite console of all time.

I'm thinking a certain gaming historian I know should be offered a job at a certain video game media website I know. Said gaming historians look back at the dream cast was a much better video then a certain art in gaming video posted on the same day.
The quality of the videos is what surprises me the most. They are very well researched and executed, it could pass for something shown on tv if a few things were tweaked
that was aweomse
