It caused the premature death of the Dreamcast in the USA. To me the Megadrive 32x CD monster console was the prototype, the Saturn was the beta tester, and the Dreamcast was dead on arrival due to indifference of the bad marketing schemes SoA has done over the past few years....who to blame well his name is Stolar! PS2 built its fanbase on RPGs (Final Fantasy), Racing (Gran Tourismo), Sports (Madden) games from the disgruntled causal gamers that saw Sega rushing consoles to market every 2 years. Not every fanboy wanted to pay $299 just to play the next Sonic or Virtua Fighter.
