As for the Dreamcast, they were as much of a victim of Sony's bullying tactics with devlopers and retailers as they were of name value. As for the hardware power, its arguable whether or not the PS2 is more powerful, and the DC actually did a number of things better than the PS2.

And I suppose your lame attempt at ruining a joke is more original? Hardly. Seems like anytime something you like is even mildly poked fun of you have a tough time not pulling out the sarcasm. Here comes the old reversal: [sarcasm]Really mature.[/sarcasm]

And while I agree that the Dreamcast had some great games and the graphics on a select few titles were close to some average PS2 games, a game like Shenmue (2) - graphically and artistically one of the best looking games on the Dreamcast - hardly stands up against the high end PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox titles. My Dreamcast will always hold a special place in my heart. But looking at specs and average games, I could never rightly say the Dreamcast had nearly the power of the current consoles. It was often times what they did with the power they had that really made the difference.
