What Killed The SEGA Dreamcast?

May 5, 2017 by Dennis Patrick

The Dreamcast was both a failure and a massively underrated machine. Let’s take a look at what happened with Sega’s biggest console.

The SEGA Dreamcast launched into the markets back in 1999. In a lot of ways, the console was ahead of its time and SEGA was still a household name when it came to hardware along with software. Despite this, the console had a very short lifespan of just a couple short years when SEGA discontinued the console back in 2001.

So what caused this console downfall and led the SEGA name to abandon console releases fully? We decide to break it down and give you our thoughts on the matter in our latest video installment. Did you own a Dreamcast? Let us know by leaving a comment below!
