What of the Dreamcast? The Sega Dreamcast has arrived and plans to stay after Sony and Nintendo duked out their final console battle of 1999. The days of the Playstation and N64 are slowly fading away, as the Super NES and Genesis did so long ago. What can we expect from Sega, especially when the 32-X, Sega-CD, and the ill-fated Saturn hurt its credibility? The Dream Machine has proven itself with great gaming and titles such as Ready to Rumble 2, Capcom vs. SNK, NFL Blitz 2001, and Sega Rally. Will the last-generation games of the Dreamcast be able to compete with the first-generation games of the Gamecube (Nintendo Dolphin), PS2, or Microsoft's X-Box? That console war is just in the beginning stages, and it will truly take time for any results to surface. As for hardware, here are the stats of the Dreamcast, according to IGN.com:
The Dreamcast also has a memory card that plays mini versions of the games you play. Once the bandwidth has been completed, the Sega Dreamcast will sell like mad, due to the increasing popularity of online gaming. The turn out of the console war depends on what the other companies plan to accomplish in the next year. Sega will be a contender because of the game library they will have and the tendency for new systems to sell out at stores. This Christmas should be interesting, because consumers will be looking to the Sega Dreamcast when the PS2 is unavailable at their local store. Sony will attempt to corner the market, as usual, and will put out as many machines as possible in the United States. As for the Gamecube and X-Box, their fate is undecided until their later releases. |
