So your saying dial up quake was better then Halo? Socom? Online MMO's? Watching DVDs? Listening to music?

The PS2 was the future hence it's popularity, it rendered the Dreamcast obsolete before it came out

i didn't realise dial up was the future

. The Dreamcast was just beta GameCube limited to only just playing games. Sony was right with the Home Media console direction, just look at the consoles today in the future
I see Sega getting streaming right then flopping just like the Wii U due to lack of features people care about. Game consoles don't sell no more now it's all about Media consoles. Sony saw that coming, Microsoft adapted, Nintendo got lucky.
