Message: [QUOTE="Phaceless_Ph, post: 12727044, member: 304825"] Sega's fatal mistake was rushing out the Dreamcast as a knee-jerk to the Playstation 2 being announced thinking that people wouldn't wait it out for the Playstation 2 to arrive, which led to many shortcomings, including insufficient DRM and piracy prevention. Also, from what I remember, the dev kits where plagued with various issues that lead to a lack of killer apps to shift the console, I remember reading that it was bad to the point that Rockstar/DMA knew it wouldn't be able to handle GTA3. Their mistakes were so bad that even the controversy of entire shipments of PS2s being faulty as a result of using external factories with poor quality control and the resulting consumer lawsuits, could derail the PS2's success. Whoever was in charge of the Dreamcast project should go down as the Jim Herd of the late-90's console wars between Sony, Nintendo and Sega, because in the wrestling industry Jim Herd damaged WCW so fatally in the early 90's that it gave Vince McMahon/WWE a four-year head-start and not even the hottest storyline of the 90's could save WCW from what was inevitable.
