It's a flop because it got really undercut by the PS2 and later systems. The DC was probably the best system SEGA ever made, second only to the Genesis. The only problem is that Sega's system was not as highly anticipated as the PS2. The PS2 had things the DC never would, like a DVD drive and an expansion bay, to make it compatible with Broadband ethernet. Sure, the DC had a ethernet expansion, but it was released too late in the console's lifetime. The DC would've given SEGA the marketshare it needed, but when you put it up with a slightly more expensive console that had better technical features and a larger hype, you have a lose-lose situation. And that, my good friends, is how the DC failed. RIP Dreamcast. 1998-2006. Lol, Edwin Shy, you mistook a compliment for a folly.

You can't ignore the fact that the PS2 came along hardly 2 years later and bested the Dreamcast right off the bat. Sonys console just had a stronger foundation behind it at this point.
