Well, if all these marketing failure accusations are true, then against all odds my parents bought me a Dreamcast without reason. Let's discuss the points that should've been seen by the consumers, the reasons my parents bought it. Personally I have both a DC and a PS2 and the graphics in my eyes are indistinguishable. If the DC had been given the chance to live, we might've seen productions on par with Shadow of the Colossus, or GOW, however the most we got from it before the end of its swan song was Sonic Adventure. Dreamcast could've been the cutting edge of internet gaming too, if things had gone differently WoW could've be some other cool acronym. In my mind your piracy point is illogical, if a system has graphics on par with the PS2, and is out first, and is pirated much easier, than why wouldn't you purchase the console? After all, in order to pirate a game you need the console to play it, right? Plus, the DC memory cards are still the coolest in gaming history, endgame.
i remember buying that on a whim, for no real reason, but i was so little that it frustrated me to no end, so i quit playing. a couple years ago i picked it up again and sailed through it, but boy am i glad i waited, i might have residual Mantis nightmares if i hadn't. awesome game still, even compared to the titles to succeed it.
