Stocka Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3145154&did=1 Bloody hell so many are alike. The funniest thing is Peter Moore was in charge of the marketing for Dreamcast and now is for 360. What they say on the second page is right though, theres so many reasons that Dreamcast failed and 360 most likely won't.
masaki86 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 can i just say; for some reason, I want a 360 now. the DC was my favourite console, and there are so many similarities......
Hero-of-Time Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Brilliant read. Although I loved the Dreamcast as it had many a great fighting game on it and Shenmue....nuff said.
Retro_Link Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Great read, thanks Stocka!! I absolutely love my Dreamcast and I'm thinking i might get a 360 at some stage; I wish Third Parties would announce Rev games!! Couple of things I don't agree with in that article; - I thought the Dreamcasts controller was great; it felt great at the time (is a little wierrd going back to it now), and the Visual Memory was great too! - I wouldn't say the Playstation was a far superior console! Some Dreamcast games can match some current PS2 games graphics wise! Has the full Xbox360 launch line-up been confirmed yet? It's in 3 weeks or so isn't it?
Hellfire Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Cool article and yeah XBOX wont go down the same way as DC. I dont like XBOX that much but 360 kind of interests me, because it seems to be having good support. Still, its more of the same.
zaraki Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 haha, crazy rich bald guy. Anyway, nice read. Maybe the same will happen? Nah, dont think so. Looking at page 2 you see that MS has a better chance.
Android18a Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Dreamcast rocks. If X360 is half of what the DC was, it's a must-buy.
Bluejay Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Read this a few days ago, it was rather eerie, the logo surprised me most for some reason. but theres also a section on why the 360 will succeed where the dreamcast failed.
Konfucius Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Good read, some of the facts were highly amusing but I also don't think the 360 will suffer the same fate the DC did. However, the early launch won't give them the head start they expected, I think.
The3rdChildren Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I'm sure the Xbox 360 will be fine, and although some may claim that financially the Dreamcast was a failure, nobody can deny what a fine console it was.
