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 will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
