the vmu had soooo much potential. nfl 2k made some use of it, but most games didn't really take advantage of it

Ahh, I remember the Dreamcast. The PS2 killed it dead, so the annoyed owners all bought 360's and tried to return the favor (and failed misrably).

I dont know how it failed... until today, 360 is beating the PS3 both in games and in sales.

The day the PS3 outsell the 360, then you can talk. And dont make excuses about the year difference... still the 360 is beating the PS3.

Just remember... the PS3 is still in third place... no matter if the PS3 is outselling now the 360 with a difference of 30,000 a week. Give me a break... at this rate, it will take years for the PS3 to catch the PS3.

So, Sales in resume: First Wii, Second 360, distant third PS3.

Or are you going to deny that?

12 million vs 18 million isn't "distant third"
By those numbers, the 360 is "distant second" behind the Wii.

Who cares about hardware sales numbers! I sure don't!
No more data!

Ah, I remember the Dreamcast. I got that instead of waiting for "dolphin", which was reveiled later as the Gamecube (happy I made that decision). I was always a big Sega supported until Sega stop making hardware so I went the PS2 cause even though the first Xbox was appealing to me, i still thought it was dumb that if you wanted to play DVDs, you HAD to buy the remote kit.

@ Fernando

So what if the PS3 is beating the 360 by 30K? Its still beating it. A win is still a win, no matter by how many points are w/ regarding to this, consoles sold. The PS3 is doing better and better. You can't deny that. No matter how much you hate Sony or the crap you talk that pretty much annoys a lot of people with. You're being very stubborn and very guilble if you think the PS3 WONT eventually outsell the 360 in total world-wide sales. Face it, the 360 is dead in JP. In PAL, the PS3 will most likely sell more copies of GTA IV regardless, of the 360 having "DLC". Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to Gears2 and NG2 and probably i'll have a 360 by that time if the failure rate is decreasing. Hands down, the PS3 has the better software line-up this year (as last year was ALL 360) and if you deny it, then you truly are nothing but a fanboy/troll! But hey, to each his own... PEACE!

I don't think any of us expected the most expensive console to sell the most systems, price has always been a major factor in console sales.

Perhaps if the PS3 had started out at $400, put the games on DVDs and had an external Blu-Ray drive for movies like the 360's situation, it would be quite a different story.

Many more would have bought it, more developers would be interested in it and create more games and then even more would buy it.

But considering all the many negative factors, the PS3 is selling pretty damn good.

Mine just gave up the ghost two weeks ago. It just shuts down every so often after hitting the power button or it just sits on the menu screen and does nothing. Dammit, dammit, dammit!

VMU was brilliant? Are you taking crazy pills? It amazes me how many Dreamcast nuthuggers there are out there....This has got to be the most overrated system of all time...Look, Sega makes some good games, but as a whole, their games are unpolished rush-jobs that could benefit from a little tweaking....Sorry folks, not impressed!

Is it too hard for MS/Sony to get Sega to allow original DC games for DL? The Wii has old Sega systems, so why can't there be a Dreamcast Originals service for XBLA/PSN.
I just want to play Jet Grind Radio and Soul Calibur again, because their sequels were good, but not as good as the originals. They botched the graffiti in JSR:F, and they botched the overall game in SC2.

I love you, Dreamcast. I don't care that you died prematurely, you still have a special place in my heart.

♥ Power Stone, SoulCalibur, Jet Grind Radio, MvC/MvC2 (the best home versions of each), etc.

Last hope is also available in very limited quantities for Neo Geo.

Unfortunately, it's not a very good game (compared to the other horizontal shooters that are available on Neo Geo), and costs an arm and a leg.

I had a lot of fun in 1999 & 2000 with my Dreamcast. A very high percentage of the games that came out for it were really, really good and innovative. I sold my system and all the games I had for it in 2002. But then I couldn't stand the agony, and re-purchased a brand new Dreamcast system in 2007. You could still find unused systems last year for cheap prices...and so now I can finish my unfinished games...Great system...the games really hold up.

I played Crazy Taxi 2 the other day. No lie. I miss the DC. I have noticed that my DC doesn't hold the time/date anymore. Maybe needs a new internal Battery.
