Editing Dreamcast (section)

==Reception==
When first released, the Dreamcast was extremely popular and highly successful, with it breaking several records at the time. However, its popularity was very short-lived, as it was quickly overshadowed by the [[PlayStation 2]]. The system was discontinued less than 2 years after its North American release due to bad sales and lack of funds from Sega.

As Retro Gaming became popular, the Dreamcast became a cult classic. It is now considered a great system despite its short life and commercial failure. It is widely considered the best console Sega ever made and is well remembered for being the final Sega console.

When James Rolfe in his [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Angry Video Game Nerd]] persona reviewed Sonic Shuffle for ''AVGN Wishlist Part 1'', he acknowledged that the Dreamcast was a good console to go out on, after many ups and downs from the company.

Ever since the Dreamcast's discontinuation, many Sega fans remained hopeful that Sega would eventually release a new console. Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to convince Sega to return to the console market but all of them have failed, as it's unlikely that Sega would have the resources or the money, plus their IPs are all third-party now.

The Dreamcast has built a very dedicated homebrew community that continues to release games to this date.
