Why were they the two worst selling consoles during 6th gen?

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
*WHIRRRRRR CHK CHK CHK WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR CHHK KKK K K K K WIRRRRRRRRRR*

They weren't dvd players

Dreamcast didnt feel like a 6th gen console to me.

oh right, I keep forgetting there was competition.. I think?

in b4 cheap dvd player

Don't remind us of those horrid sounds

Bad customer perception from the previous gen, specially compared to PS1

>Well I guess this is it huh Cubie
>Hey, it wasn't so bad
>You just say that because you signed on as an organ donor for the Wii and your games won't go to waste
>it's the end of the line for me
>so long space cube boy

DVD player proved to be an exceptional value add for the PS2.

Sega (Japan and SoA) made a ton of shitty internal decisions and a bunch of shitty product decisions for the dreamcast.

Nintendo had been bleeding third parties for a generation.

This is actually the answer, Sony played it right.

Dreamcast was the second best

>years pass
>melee is still in its prime
>sonic adventure 1 & 2, space station 5, monkey ball, and many others are regarded as classics
>one of the first consoles with native online multiplayer
>the Dreamcast is regarded as the most underrated, and sometimes the best console of gen 6
>lost to a dvd player

Do you think that the success of the PS2 also working as a DVD player was what later inspired consoles to focus as multi-media machines in the long term?

>you will never live in an alternate reality where the dedicated video game consoles won and the dvd players lost

>still fucking mad that the PS2 won
Damn.

No DVD player
Proprietary disc format with small space

PS2 was the world's cheapest DVD player. I know many people who got one just to watch movies

Because they didn't have the power factor, the DVD factor or the "everybody works on it" factor.

However, one eventually had almost all of its valuable catalogue exported to the other consoles.

you would be surprised how many casuals buy a ps4/xbone just to watch netflix

What classics are on the dvd player

Gamecube was neck and neck with Xbox. It only sold a couple million less. It would have sold even better had it not had retarded discs and controller.

yes, cheap dvd player.

>all of those cancelled dreamcast games that never saw the light of day
>one of them being streets of rage 4

of course im mad

FF12.
Romancing Saga.
Dark Cloud.
Rogue Legacy.
Armored Core.
Shadow Tower Abyss.
Why do you act as if the PS2 didn't have fucking games?

DC and GC didn't deserve those sales. PS2 was great, but I wished the others sold at least a half or a third compared to the PS2

Okami, MGS3, Katamari Damacy, FFXII, SMT3 Nocturne, Jak and Daxter, DMC...?

user, denying PS2 as a good console system outside of silly graphics wars is ridiculous. 6th gen was extremely good on all sides.

>actually replying
you know hes just gonna call every game you name shit right

>ff12
Trash
>romancing saga
Shit
>rogue legacy
Meh
>dark cloud
Zelda ripoff
>armored core
Robot crap
>shadow tower abyss
Never heard of it

DC is only regarded as the best because it died. It's the same reason we idolize celebs who died midway through their careers, like Kurt Cobain.

Okami, mgs3, katmari, smt 3, and jak and dater aren't exclusives
