Sigh, I think we all know this will be the next dreamcast. I dont' know if too many will agree with me at this point. But now that the price cuts won't come for supposedly 2 years I don't give any more chance to this console. I was looking forward to it for 3 years, but no I think inorder to see it I have to look behind me.
PS3, the next Dreamcast?? A couple years after it was out, the DC was like $50 and had a ton of amazing exclusive games plus all sorts of homebrew going for it. A year or two ago, you could even pick one up used for $15. I only wish the PS3 will be the next Dreamcast, because that would be freakin' sweet. A cheap, fun machine. While I don't really play mine anymore, I still give my Dreamcast a loving glance every now and then.
I do know what you meant, though; a system that will die before its time. We'll see, but I suspect not. It's a little hard to believe, but plenty of people are willing to lay down $600 for one. There was some big survey on the issue, and something like 75% said they were willing to do it. I suspect it's in large part due to the PlayStation brand name, which has become the "new" Nintendo in that it's synonymous with video gaming for a great deal of people. The price doesn't matter as much as we'd like to believe, and even if there aren't many good games in the end, that won't matter either. We haven't seen the last of the mighty PlayStation.
Besides, they still haven't given us the virtual reality PS9. Anyone remember those commercials from the PS2 days?
