It was absolutely the PS2 that tanked the Dreamcast. Perhaps the author meant Xbox.

Yeah, Sony's PS2 pre release marketing hype was out of control, and a lot of it was directed at how the Dreamcast wasn't going to be worth it. The CPU of the PS2 was called the "Emotion Engine" with Sony just straight up saying it had the power to emulate the human mind.

Although the PlayStation 2 had the brute force, from this programmer's perspective the Dreamcast had a certain finesse, largely due to the PowerVR GPU. SEGA's teams were also on a strong creative streak at the time too. Such a shame it didn't pan out.

Best selling game console of all time I think. No shame losing to the best.

It was only the best in terms of hype and sales. Video-quality-wise, it was likely the worst of its generation.

All for nothing if you haven’t got the games, and PS2 was selling games for 10 years.
