    No, because the Dreamcast was cool in the first place. Xbox peaked with the 360 and has gone downhill since.

    No? Xbox might not be in the greatest place right now, but it’s a far cry from where Sega was when they discontinued the Dreamcast. Yeah, Microsoft stepped on a lot of rakes with the Xbox One, but it wasn’t a Saturn-style disaster and Microsoft is still doing well enough to buy out a major game publisher.

    didn’t read the article, but to answer the headline: no.

    xbox is backed by Microsoft, one of the biggest companies on the planet. if xbox was going to go away, it would have happened during the Xbox one lifecycle, in my opinion.

    I sincerely hope walled garden consoles all go the way of the dreamcast. We‘re seeing huge advantages in small set top box style computers with plug and play functionality.

    The most important part is you actually own the device which means you can put any OS on it, write your own apps and customize and use it however you like for however long you want.
