Cool, then you found what entertains you. And for some people the Dreamcast is still entertaining, you're just not one of them. End of topic.
And btw, the title of the thread is just simply false if you ask me. When the DC was released, it was the most powerful console on the market. Offered online capabilities out of the box. Had the biggest storage media (1 GB GD-rom) at the time. It was the first to have a digital camera for a console. It was one of the first (if not the first) to have a microphone and offer online chat in some games.
Was it later outperformed by other consoles in every aspect? Sure. But for a short period of time, it wasn't just "that good", it was "the best".
upon reflecting i think its pretty sad that sega guy donated millions of his money to sega to keep it afloat even though he went to microsoft begging them to support the dreamcast when they were already working on the xbox. oh wont you please support our underpowered, 56k modem having, single analog stick, childs toy? talk about wasted money giving it to sega only for them to give up on it anyway and make games for other consoles... just really... millions to save sega... sad waste of money really...
