The Inexplicable Death of the Sega Dreamcast

I go through the reasons why I think the Sega Dreamcast never stood a chance at success. I’m now on Patreon! Help support the channel. Check out my Sega Lord X merchandise page!

Opening 3D Logo By: Jan Neves YouTube Page - Opening 2D Animation By: Kevin Bhall Facebook - Episode Notes: 1. This one was in the oven for a VERY LONG time. I hope you enjoy it! 2. I chose the title of the video for a specific reason. Hindsight details the death of the Dreamcast with 20 years of consideration. At the time, however, it seemed like its failure was a complete mystery to the average Sega fan. 3. Every game in this episode captured on original hardware. 4. I still have hopes for a DC Mini someday. Sega released the Astro City Mini, so anything is possible. 5. Remember, these points are all meant to be taken as a whole. One thing leads to another. One thing affects another. The DC being released in Japan in 1998 meant no DVD because of expense. However, should the DC not have been released early in Japan, Saturn goes strong another year there AND DVD becomes more affordable. Piracy becomes less an issue. They still beat Sony to the US market by a year. It all plays together.
