Though it was really easy to pirate on the Dreamcast.

Someone took a hard look at the numbers and determined that even with piracy there was no uptick in units sold which means people were just not interested in the Dreamcasts unfortunately and it was piracy that killed it.

But then again people who knows Segas history wouldn't draw this conclusion anyway. The Dreamcasts didn't have a chance with Segas past and Sony Playstation 2 hype and money

By the time it was really easy to pirate Dreamcast, the consoles were being clearanced out for $99.
