Some of the Dreamcast games are really great, at the moment it's a shame at the moment the PS2 line up can't offer the same quality, given time I'm sure it will. Lets hope the Gamecube and to a FAR lesser extent the XBox does well, there is only one winner in a one horse race and its not the consumer (games player) Flame proof underwear on standby. I'm looking forward to seeing what Sega have to offer on the GBA and PS2 Nigel "George Bain" wrote in message news:94kjuq$c2g2@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > www.mcvuk.com > > > Sega kills off Dreamcast > Huge losses have forced Sega to pull out of the hardware market, with > production of Dreamcast hardware ceasing by the end of March. > > A fourth straight year of losses, mainly caused by Dreamcast, have forced > the company into a radical rethink of its strategy.
