RE: UKNM: Dreamcast vs Playstation

[mattheww]

I think the Dreamcast has a lot to offer, the opening range of games already

looks impressive and easily outstrips the meagre offerings Sony gave us when

it launched the Playstation.  I also read that Sony were knocking off a

further 20 pounds of the cost of a new Playstation down to around 70 pounds

to help stave off the threat of the Dreamcast in the run up to Chrimbo. It

does make you think though of the huge amounts of profit they must have been

making initially when Sony were knocking Playstations out for 300 pounds a

shot!

Lee wrote that working on the interface on Dreamcast will make it hard to

giveaway.  I can believe that.  The question I have is will Sega's Dreamcast

push aside Playstation and the eventual Playstation 2 off the pole position.

Rumour has it that Playstation 2 will accommodate Playstation 1 games, as

well as access the Net.  With Sony's distribution strengths, does Dreamcast have

a chance.  keep in mind that Nintendo is also releasing its new box, and is

apparently moving away from cartridges to CD format.  It makes sense for Sega's

market penetration to create joint ventures with Internet partners...anything to

make Dreamcast a success...especially with Sony and Nintendo pulling up

their sleeves.


By the way...whatever happened to 3DO?  Is it completely dead and buried?  I

would love to read your comments...especially on partnerships.
