A First Look At E3 2006

GameDaily has a look at what we can expect from the big names at E3 this year. From the article: "It's do or die time for Nintendo as far as the company's future consoles are concerned. The Revolution will be a key portion of Nintendo's pre-E3 press event. We expect to see at least three titles up and running on the show floor, as well as a handful of titles in video form from Nintendo and a few third party developers. Nintendo will also be hyping up its retro downloads service for the Revolution, and will likely have several classics playable using the Revolution controller."

I didn't mean to indicate that piracy was the ONLY reason the Dreamcast bombed. There were a ton of problems that hit Sega. I happen to think one major reason was all the Sony FUD. All the claims of the "Emotion Engine" and Toy Story-like rendering came out around that time. Many gamers, like myself, opted to just wait an extra year for the PS2. By the time the buzz came out that the DC actually had a lot of decent games, I was already hooked to the PS2 and it was too late to get another console, especially one that you could SEE was spiraling downwards.

That said, I'm sure the piracy couldn't have helped the DC survive. (I think that claims of being able to try games before you buy them generates sales, are highly exaggerated ... most of the folks I knew that pirated games liked, never ended up buying them)
