Well put, I feel

Lack of copy protection played a role as well.

@@KROTHIAC The "piracy killed the Dreamcast" theory is largely a myth. If I was to really choose the killer, it was that Sega was taking too much of lost per console. It's possible that something as small as selling the Dreamcast in NA at $250 could have made the difference.

Same with the Wii U

@@dtester I agree. Piracy did not chose a side. EVERYTHING is and can be pirated even the new encrypted ps 5 games

IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear sti

Honestly there's just too much biased personal opinion like 1:37, EA, meat, etc. There are much better channels out there IMO but this is still not that bad.

Cringe.

I'm so confused

Yeah i hate people buying stuff just cause it’s familiar, if people had did their research on the Dreamcast it could’ve probably did way better. Everyone was like “GASP PS2!!! BUY IT NOW WHO THE FUCK CARES!” I think the same happened with PS3. While it made a comeback later in it’s life, the Xbox 360 dominated almost, if not that whole generation besides arguably the Wii. PS3 had poor third party optimization and bugs everywhere, it released overpriced as hell, the online wasn’t as good as the 360 and got hacked, even the controller was a downgrade and the console released a year late. Somehow though it barely outsells the 360. Probably just because PlayStation was around longer, and nothing more.

Well said! That was mind boggling to me as well. Dreamcast had everything you'd want as early as 1998...and people were still waiting for the PS2 just because of the brand. And then, it did not deliver anything that the Dreamcast couldn't do.

Same applies to Pyrocynical and EmpLemon.

I haven't seen schlatt make a video like this for years

Oh, I forgot Schlatt used to do this type of stuff. Been so long.

Wow forgot about that and Toy Commander.

Cringe.

I loved fur fighters, used to play split screen pvp (what they called fluffmatch XD) on it against my brother mom and dad, fun times... Plasma beamer was forbidden to use tho XD

U are

console evolution is(Was) a rough ride, with heavy upfront investment. Like, a console is simply a computer in disguise, and, it was really tough to try to make one that was good enough, cheap enough, an with enough games for it that it could get a slice of that market share out of Sony's clutches, which to me means a ton of planning to get games developed for it all at the same time. Releasing a console that can succeed is an actual Historical Event in my opinion. You need to coordinate the entire world to get it to do well. So maybe it was ahead of the curve, but anyway, it's alright, it's a very unfair contest anyway. and... in the end, a home computer is actually the best console and you can't change my mind

Lmao

It's a balding dude in a kilt though

Honestly, they just didn't foresee the need for a DVD drive. That probably would have done it

Cringe.

He is wrong though, Sega did not lower the Dreamcast RRP price, that was Bernie Stolar the Yank Doodle, he went against Sega's wishes and launched the Dreamcast in Yankland at $199 instead of the $249 that Sega had planned, thereby meaning Sega was already losing at least $50 for every single Dreamcast sold in the otherwise very successful Dreamcast launch, which made it a double edged sword. No worries for Bernie the Yank though, like other Yanks who only think for their own self interests and don't care about the damage they do to the company as a whole, he knew he would leave with a fat severance paycheck and a cushy position at Mattel by December 1999, after the damage was already done. However Sega had planned to potentially suspend their hardware series by as early as 1997, Isao Okawa said that even if the Dreamcast sells it would still likely be the last home Sega console in that series. So it had nothing to do with the PlayStation 2, plus the Dreamcast continued to receive official releases as late as 2008 outside of America, so it actually outlasted the original Xbox and even the Nintendo Gamecube. Also, the Dreamcast had a higher software to hardware ratio than Sony did with the PS2, this means that on average, the average Dreamcast owner had at least 8 Dreamcast games compared to the PS2 owner who only had between 4 or 5, because many people did not buy PS2 as a native videogame console, they bought it as a dirt cheap DVD player instead, which is testament to the fact that Sony is not a true gaming company with a native rich software heritage like Sega, but just fundamentally an appliance company that happens to make a black box that plays other companies games on it that Sony make deals too good to refuse in exchange for. And as we all know, it is software that sells hardware, not the other way around. So the company and its IP is always more important than the hardware platform.

Champs don't rock skirts lmaoo

And Fugu Fish's game, Stupid Invaders, was made for this console.

idk aztro uses all pronouns so i assume they’re wearing it because they can idfk

@@steveburnside3242 Cant we just focus on how Bernie stolar was a greedy bastard without bringing in all the anti american sentiment? Like greed doesnt exist in all countries? Including japan who based its capitalism market off of america? (Also basing even more of its government off of america after WW2) Besides yankee doodle is the name of a New Yorker bud, yankees was what the norths soldiers were called in the civil war. Bernie stolar is from Cali bro, it's about as far on the map as possible from New York in America & the people there have completely different attitudes. So if you're gonna use a bunch of stereotypes & stereotype terms, at least get them right. Because it really kind of discredits the rest of your post. Like for example if you go to a southern state like North Carolina & you're from New York, theres still a lot of anti yankee sentiment there. If a lot of those people hear a New York accent, they will tell the yankee to get lost. Someone from cali would have no issues with these people because they're not a yankee lol
