Well Peter Moore who was ex Head of Sega of America did jump over to Microsoft, the 360 is the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast.

I keep forgetting about this guy lol. But your right if he's behind the success idk what will become of the next Xbox. I mean when you think about it the 360 did everything right (RRODs are an exception).

No.

Half Life was born a PC franchise and will always primarily remain a PC franchise.

It being released on the Dreamcast to greater success/more officially would not have caused the Dreamcast to have sold the 130-140 million units the PS2 has today.

Never released but a copy intented for review did leak out. Oh and yes the DC was much better imho love it along with the Snes, 2 of the finest consoles ever.

Sega had hardly any third party support left
The PS2 easily has one of the best game libraries

Ofc it does when its given the support, lets not forget also much like ps1 it had a vast array of shall we say less than sub-playable games released in fact the mass majority that can be kinda true. Mainly the IP`s and ofc others but it did get a hell of a lot of naffware, quick releases for coin.

This was never released, not even to reviewers IIRC. After the project was cancelled, a release candidate was leaked online.

And yes, DC > PS2. Graphics were clean and crisp.

Play against PC gamers (Quake 3)

Exactly, it was way ahead of its time. The controller was fantastic too with the MU's inc. the mini games.

I agree the Dreamcast was a great console, though I personally would compare the Dreamcast to the newer consoles (360, PS3, Wii)... I have no idea why, but the Dreamcast just seems that great. Then again, that was also the last console on which I played a Sonic game that I really enjoyed... Sure, SADX was OK, but it just didn't feel the same... *sigh* I'm gonna go play some Sonic games now...

The DC hardware was better than the PS2's? So games like Metal Gear Solid 3 were possible on the dreamcast?

I looked up the specs, and while the PS2 has the hardware advantage, the Dreamcast has an experience advantage. A game like MGS3 would never have been on the Dreamcast anyway. SEGA was always about family entertainment back then. The most brutal of the games released for their platforms was probably the Mortal Kombat games...

The PS2 has its place; that is where the tear-producing games, the bloody games, the games that let you kill for sport, etc. all belong.

The Dreamcast? It was just fun!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
