Description: Sega Dreamcast: What Happened? ASUS ROG STRIX WiFi 6 Gaming Router: bit.ly/2Zyf0NV The year was 1999. After falling behind Sony and Nintendo in the gaming console wars, SEGA was back with something brand new - a console that packed several new features and advanced graphics to match. It was the SEGA Dreamcast, and it was released in the US on September 9th, 1999 after months of hype that told people that on 9/9/99, SEGA would be back and better than ever. Then, just over a year later, the SEGA Dreamcast was cancelled. In this episode of Tech Fails, we travel back to 2001 and examine exactly why such an extraordinary console became a total disaster. The @SEGA Dreamcast failure left an indelible mark on the gaming world. It was the first ever sixth generation video game console and is widely credited with helping to revitalize the industry after what many considered to be a dry spell in the mid-1990s. Its release date coincided with a full solar eclipse across Asia and North America, and it retailed for $199 at launch (equivalent to $292 today). This made the system competitively priced against other sixth generation consoles such as the $299 PlayStation 2 or Microsoft Xbox. However, it’s also considered to be one of the most disappointing flops in video game history. Despite its short lifetime, the Dreamcast did manage to make a few major contributions to the gaming industry: things like online play, a version of dual screen gaming, and even emulators were all a part of the Dreamcast experience - but it wasn’t enough. Let’s talk about why the SEGA Dreamcast failed.
