On September 9, 1999, Sega released the Dreamcast in North America. While the launch was successful--Sega touted a one-day sales total of nearly $98 million--the good news and the console itself were short lived. The Dreamcast soon faltered, and Sega pulled the plug on its final hardware effort in January of 2001. Since then, it has become a third-party publisher, with its former hardware standard-bearer Sonic the Hedgehog appearing on systems made by former rivals, such as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.
Throughout the Dreamcast era and for two years afterward, Peter Moore was president and CEO of Sega of America. For the 10th anniversary of the console, Moore took time out from his current duties as president of EA Sports to speak with GameSpot about the lessons to be learned from the Dreamcast's brief life and rapid demise.
