Everything you said here is correct. Sega with the previous generation consoles burn consumer and developers alike. People were reluctant to buy the Dreamcast, PS2 hyper machine was also making exaggerated claims about the PS2 when magazines interviewed random people at EB Games and baggage the all said the would wait for the PS2. Someone did an in depth analysis of the Dreamcast sales as related to piracy. If piracy was such an issue then sales of the console itself should have increased because people were buying the console and not game but this was not the case. Console sales never increased. People who claim the Dreamcast die due to piracy simply do not know SEGA's history
