Sega didn't leave the console business because the Dreamcast was bad.
In fact, the Dreamcast was ahead of its time: online gaming, impressive graphics, a $199 price tag, and games that are still considered classics today.
But Sega was already bleeding money when Sony announced the PlayStation 2.
The result was brutal.
In this episode of Corporate Autopsy, we investigate how the disastrous Saturn launch, billions in accumulated losses, weak third-party support, the absence of EA, and the unstoppable rise of the PS2 forced one of gaming's biggest companies to abandon console hardware forever.
The Dreamcast wasn't a bad console.
It was a great console launched by a company that was running out of time.
