I voted Sony because they killed SEGA.
SEGA fans might be one the saddest bunches out there holy shit... Sony didn't kill SEGA. SEGA killed SEGA.

One company made stupid decision after stupid decision and failed product after failed product while the other catered to devs and made a product that people actually wanted to buy.
 
. Sony didn't kill SEGA. SEGA killed SEGA.
I agree. Peter Moore said the DC was still doing well in the US. They had 2K sports, they could have ported GTA3/Vice City and make the franchise accessible with a bundle under $250. The Dreamcast was time proof in terms of IQ on modern TV and had untapped power.(NBA 2K2002, Virtua Fighter 4 Dreamcast, Panzer Dragoon Orta...)


It could have survived and sold a little bit.(It didn't need to be leader, we just asked more great games)
 
Atari. The 2600 was god-tier. The Lynx was wasted potential. Everything else was pure shit, capping the shit-heap with the shitfuck of all shitfucks: The Atari Shitfucking Jaguar.

64 (32+32) Bits of Pure Horseshit.

Now get off my lawn.
 
Sony consoles have always had atrocious build quality, and they used the same garbage ass controller for three generations.
Such bland and generic designs.
The PS5 seems to be the exception, but the games are seriously underwhelming.
 
All of them have done stupid crap this gen, but Microsoft has been the most destructive for their brand, and Sony has been the worst this week so far.
 
I voted Sony because they killed SEGA.
Objectively, this is true. We cannot pretend that Sega's demise didn't coincide with Sony's rise. A lack of funds was always Sega's Achilles' heel, preventing it from ever producing powerful consoles; in this market, there are two dogmas; strong IPs or powerful graphics, and you need at least one of them, or else you're better off not launching a console at all.
 
I voted for Sony.

PS1 - texture warping canceled out the other advanced capabilities of the hardware
PS2 - terrible textures, complicated architecture
PS3 - complicated architecture, high price
PS4 - loud
PS5 - clunky form factor that forces you to use a separate stand

And who the hell designed that d-pad?

Peter Moore lied; after October 2000, the Dreamcast posted absurdly low sales figures for three consecutive months , holiday season . This led to emergency meetings initiated back in 2000 that culminated in the discontinuation of the Dreamcast early 2001.
The Dreamcast was already dead; Sega simply made it official.
