  • Yeah I understand they were all 6th gen. My point was just that it doesn’t really make sense to blame the Dreamcast failure on its timing. Dates also matter:

    Late 98 was release in Japan
    Late 99 was release worldwide
    Early 2000 was PS2 in Japan
    Late 2000 was PS2 worldwide
    Early 2001 Dreamcast was killed
    Late 2001/Early 2002 Gamecube and Xbox

    The meme makes it look like the Dreamcast popped up late, but timing was not the reason for it’s demise at all. PlayStation dominating the market, as you mentioned, was probably the biggest one. People knew the PS2 was around the corner and the Dreamcast had barely been out in the EU by the time the PS2 was strutting it’s stuff on the Japanese market.


  • Yeah, I’m of the opinion the Saturn was the real problem. It was not a bad step forward compared to the Megadrive, but compared to the PS1 it was nowhere near as good.

    Dreamcast was a great console. It was really ahead of it’s time with a bunch of things, the VMUs, the internet connectivity, the range of peripherals and keyboard/mouse integration. It was the first console I ever got relatively near release and never regretted it.












  • Good point, I was looking at the EFF thinking that was the one on the rise due to the bar graph on the very right. It seems the the colours on the map indicate the current year, but that is not included in the trend bar graph, which is a bit confusing.

    I was thinking EFF was probably a far right party on the rise and if other countries are anything to go by M.K is probably an even further right splinter. Although this is South Africa so I would expect quite a bit of right already.

    Also, in the table all of the parties have 0 seats so that seems like a pointless column.

    So I did a quick number crunch on this: To get to about 75kg of protein per day, let’s say you only eat lean turkey and drink protein shakes, you’d need 200kg of turkey and 200L of protein shake.

    You could probably make this intake more efficient, but however it goes in, I don’t think my body would like me eating 370,000 calories per day.
