The Dreamcast didin't go out with a bang, it went out with a "SONIC BOOM!"

Think of a World where Dreamcast didn't die, a world where SEGA rules and Nintendon't , where Sony and Microsoft have a hard time just competing against SEGA, and a world where we would be playing 8th generation console starting from 2009. Why why did dreamcast had to die :(

The PSes were made because Nintendo betrayed Sony in 1993 (CD-expansion for SNES) - but it ruined Sega...

THUS: SEGA HAD TO SUFFER FROM NINTENDO'S BETRAYAL!!

Nintendo was ment, but Sega had to pay the price.

HOW UNJUST CAN LIFE POSSIBY BE???

The Sega Saturn wasn't a failure. It failed only in Nordamerika because of the bad marketing of Bernie Stolar. He did 2 things, first he didn't allow 2D games and RPGs to be brought to America since appearently nobody cares about those *sacasm* and it launched in an instant, which was to much for consumers/developers. Also he said "The Saturn isn't our Future"...now that answers most of your questions. Maybe the Dreamcast wouldn't be beaten by PS2 that easiely :/

You missed the absolutley mindboggling event wherein Sega went to E3 and told attendants of their keynote that they were unveling a new console, and that you could essentially buy it immediately. Think how crazy it would be for a console to do that today? I remember walking into my local software store and thinking "is that... THAT IS. It's a SATURN. What is that doing here?!" Developers couldn't market their games effectively and it pissed them off.

@personluv913 by the way if sega ruled microsoft wouldn't even have been in the picture and who knows if sony would have lived.

But nintendo had what no other gaming compagny had: many and strong 1st party icons. so i believe they would be somehow coexist.
