Yeah. I really doubt that Sega would be creating the dreamcast 2, since there has been lots of reports of them stating specifically that they are staying out of the console business.  Even if they were to create it, it probably wouldn't catch on in North America at least, since they've never really had a large hold in the American market.

Dreamcast was the original Homebrew console. I remember playing roms, VCDs, and using the internet (lol 56k) on it. It had some great games for it too.... so it's death came to me as a surprise. Good times though.

It is going to be called the Dolphin.  5 times as powerful as the 360 and Playstation 3. woah watch out.

Anyway, Dreamcast was pretty revolutionary for the time.  Graphics were a lot better than the 64 and PS, they had online for a couple games (which the SNES had attempted, but didn't get off the ground to well), and Crazy Taxi was a novelty arcade game that you could own at home.  Also, no one can forget the flash memory card that had info about your Chaos in Sonic Adventure!

"code-named White Belt, Black Belt, Dural, Dricas, Vortex, Katana, Shark and Guppy during development"

Man they were indecisive

thats because it was the first console in the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox gen, not the last in the N64/PS1 gen.

That's one thing I always forget. It just seems entirely out of place, like it didn't fit in properly with any generation. Oh well. I wish I got a chance to play it more.

Without Dreamcast, who knows what MMORPGs would look like.

But if Sega were to make a new console, it would probably match up with 360, PS3 and Wii. Then BAM. Before you know it, PS4, XBox X and Nintendo X will be released and they'll be screwed once again. They can't win. The only chance they'd have is if they started on a system to match of with PS4, XBox X and Nintendo X right now. Then they'd probably have the best one. But I high doubt they would do that.
