I'm pretty sure when Flarg! said, "Now parents have something new to blame . ..", he meant something new in addition to movies, computer games, and D&D.
Ok, maybe I didn't word my post quite right. I never said PS2 was better than DC. I just said that it was hyped. In my opinion the DC is by far a better console, but I don't control the gaming industry, so I have to sit back and watch the DC get eaten by the PS2 hype-monster.
The DC console as we now know it is dead, BUT the chipset will live on in set-top boxes and other stuff like that.
I have to disagree with you, though when you say that the XBox is going to eliminate all competition. Nintendo will not go away, they won't be beaten. Look at the N64, it sucks, but it was still a successful system because of games like Pokemon Stadium and Zelda. The GameCube is gonna do well, I think.
Anyway...I just wanted to make sure you knew that I wasn't saying that the PS2 was a quality system.
Why would you have bought a DC when you knew that the messiah of consoles was coming? The second coming of the PS2.
Sure, the DC had a year head start, but people still knew that the PS2 was coming, and that it would forever change the landscape of video games. We all drooled at screenshots of Madden 2001 and other amazing looking games while Sega was actually churning out amazing game after amazing game.
Why buy a Sega, though? When playstation 2 comes out, DC will be outdated.
Well, PS2 came out, and the DC has a better software library and still has some great games in development, but it's too late. Sega has already been crushed by Sony's hype monster. Retailers and developers are scared of DC because it's a sinking ship. Why try to rescue it when you can just develop and sell games for PS2 and prepare for the GameCube and XBox?
I'm just hoping that MSFT incorperates the DC chipset into the XBox. I heard rumors that it's gonna happen. I've heard we're gonna find out in late march.
Their marketing really sucked! Just because you spend a lot of money doesn't mean you did an excellent job. The NBA's Washington Wizards have one of the highest payrolls in the league, yet they are one of the worst teams.
"It's thinking.".......??? I can still hear the woman's voice saying it. I personally think that is a horrible slogan. With the console market today you need a slogan that will reach out and grab you, not some lady quietly saying that the system is an intellectual...I don't care how seductive she sounds.
You also cannot actually think that the Dreamcast has a weak software lineup...can you? They launched with a decent amount of games, all of which were quality.
-Sonic
-NFL2k
-Soul Calibur (amazing)
-Crazy Taxi
Now they have some other awesome games...
-Quake III (mouse, keyboard, and internet support)
-Shenmue
-Jet Grind Radio
-NFL2k1, NBA2k1
The list goes on.
You have to admit that the DC has at least a good software lineup. Their marketing was just passive and weak.
Hehe, sorry. I just don't see how a console monopoly will do anything for the consumer. Why develop cutting edge technology and take risks when you can just develop the same ole' crap and you know people will buy it because it's their only option.
Could someone post a link that shows how to do this using Win98se?
Also, does anyone know if it would be very difficult to remove the sega modem and somehow connect an ethernet card from a computer? That would give me $60 extra for DC games and no waiting until Jan. 2(The broadband release date).
