The Dreamcast was essentially the grandfather of the Xbox, that's why.

I read the article it was way more about Sega dreamcast.

Windows CE on dreamcast was only for system connectivity functions, basic I/O, and app launching. Everything else was handled by segas own runtime APIs, and the OS pretty much stopped when a game was playing. That last part isnt unlike modern systems, except the newer systems allow for the OS to have a more active role in certain game functions, and facilitate more common tasks like saving or connectivity with a system layer for the game to access.

If sega hadn't dropped out of the console market, it's hard to say if MS would have made the first xbox. All MS really wanted was to have a place in the gaming market so Sony wouldn't dominate them in the living room. Was quite the observation of the future to realize how important consoles would become on MS part. Even if Sony or Nintendo would have partnered with MS for similar things, MS may not have bothered with the xbox, and the console space would certainly be a different place today

The Gameboy had a camera attachment. Admittedly it was crap by today's standards but for the time it was pretty cool

Not about which is better it’s Dreamcast anniversary we are just appreciating for what it was and what I did no need to say it’s not better we live in the current year man the rest is history we all know what happened

It failed because Sega was going bankrupt, and didnt have the money to compete against the sony juggernaut, and sega made a lot of bad decisions with hardware for years before the DC released, causing their customer confidence to dwindle.

The system itself was really good, and it had great games for it's time. Just not enough compared to Sony, which was doing everything right for 2 gens at the time

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
