What killed the Sega Dreamcast?

This just makes me want more gaming history videos. Can this be a new series that we get like once a month or something? Please?

Really liking the deep dive! I hope there are more to come!

Your brief mention of the controller made me remember how much I hated it.  Something about it just didn't agree with my hands, and I can still feel my index fingers cramp up at the thought of it.  IIRC my one friend had a non-standard controller at his place, and if I wasn't using that one I could only play for ~20min at a time before I couldn't stand it.

But when I played Sonic Adventure 2, the controller would show sonic's face. How could that fail?

I call BS...

oops. the very last quote read by Ashley shows the previous quotes text.  

Other than that, great video and very informative 

Am I the only one seeing the Switch in a lot of what the say? History repeats? On the other hand at least Nintendo has its library and brand so becoming a third party developer would probably do them some good (especially if they went the Netflix route) or at lest better than saga did. . . 

Dreamcast Worlds: A Design history is a great book to read about this subject. It goes over the console history, three of the major titles, and the console's ultimate cancellation. IIRC Sega Headquarters had already decided to stop making consoles before the Dreamcast came to America. I believe that the 500,000 Ashley referenced was just a lofty goal they figured would never come to pass and it didn't. But it was Microsoft that worked on their online connectivity for the Dreamcast, which they would later add into the Xbox, so there's that.

This was awesome, would love more in-depth stories like this!

Rip Dreamcast. You will always be missed

hey guys, wanna hear a joke?

OUYA. 

That was a cool history lesson. I hope ya'll make more stuff like this in the future.

This story was great. Hope you guys do more stories like this in the future.
