The Dreamcast failed because it released on 9/9/99, then 11 days later, the PS2 was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show. The PS2 looked like a better system on paper, so no one bought a Dreamcast.

It was apparently selling well in the West, but Sega of Japan gonna Sega of Japan.

Was gonna say, knew quite a few people with a DreamCast, was surprised they kinda gave up on it

(EDIT: then again, literally everyone had a PS2…)

Yeah that was a huge part of it too. I'm not saying this was the only part. Just a big contributing factor.
