    The Atari ST was by no means a failed computer. In fact, the home computer market was 60% Amiga's and 40% Atari's. Also, due to the inspired move of putting MIDI ports to STs, you could see Ataris in recording studios well after it was abandoned by Atari.

    Also, the Dreamcast, even though a failed system had great games of excellent quality. Just because the market decided it didn't like the Dreamcast it doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad console. It was not. Compared to anything else at the time, it was the best console out there.
