In today's video, we look at Microsoft's entry into the console market in an effort to stop the might of the Sony PlayStation brand and their fears that PlayStation will replace Microsoft desktop computers. Let's explore Microsoft's relationship with Sega through both the Dreamcast and the Xbox era. Can the Xbox be considered the Dreamcast 2? Was the Dreamcast sabotaged by corporate turncoats? Let's dig into all of this!!!

When the Dreamcast died, as a hardcore SEGA kid since the SMS I was for the first time a gamer without a home. Peter Moore going to MS, the controller design, and the specific franchises Sega decided to put on the console got me to buy an Xbox. Still my second favorite console behind the Dreamcast.
💙 💚
Yeah I feel the same way, even though I wasn't really old enough to be a SEGA supporter in the 16-bit era to be fair, the Genesis and Master System were both before my time. I did have a PS1 but I did jump to the M$ ship when the Xbox was announced.
I'm one of the freakshows with big enough hands to get good use out of the Duke too, always liked that controller a lot. Probably the most comfortable of any stock controller I've ever used.
@@shelltoe_soul Exceptions and other things such as trivia "...is what makes the world interesting" as stated by a tv show character that come to think of it may have just been a one time character out of all 13 seasons... I do not know but yeah and for the one that said such and such was before your time- a lot of it is these last few years, particularly, although I noticed even before 2020 that retro and older stuff is been somewhat trendy but lasting for quite a bit not a true fad that dissipates instantly after coming into existence... or commonplace to go thriftshopping not even just collecting in general... but pretty much for people trying fo game without any existing way to do so are probably kinda using whatever can be found.... luckily since I do I kinda just do so for fun but that said I...forget where this was going so yeah...
same here brother, jumped to xbox aftwr SEGA died and been here ever since
I'm always impressed with how well Lady Decade does her research. She's the Queen of obscure gaming trivia.
I hope she does a video of how halo was supposed to be on the dreamcast befor xbox was announced
Well she is the wife of big daddy top hat
Hell yeah she is!!!!

Sega and Microsoft would had made a joint venture at the end of the 90s for creating the dreamcast. Imagine the power of Xbox, the library of DC plus Halo...
I wish this what if scenario came to life back then. Sad the sega saturn was dead due stolar and the suprise launch.
NTM GTA 2 was a Dreamcast exclusive so they could have had 3 release exclusively on Dreamcast/Xbox.
Now with Microsoft buying up companies, they should purchase Sega from Sammy to bring all their IP in house on Gamepass.
@@maroon9273 Sega did a critical error when they released the Sega Saturn, they didn't have a dev kit for the games studios when the Saturn was noticeably harder to program for than the Playstation. And this error made that developping game for the Saturn was really costly.
I believe that decision from Microsoft to not incorporate Sega into the Xbox is what hurt the system from conquering the Japanese market. Sega had the foothold Microsoft needed to earn the Japanese gamer.
There had to be a connection between the Dreamcast and Xbox the controllers were similar and Dreamcast was involved with Microsoft
This means, that the Xbox 3, known as the Xbox 1, is really the Dreamcast 4, which is really the Master System 7, or Master System 7.5 if you count the 32X, making current Xbox generation the Dreamcast 5, or Master System 8 or 8.5, and potentially the Master System 9 if you’re counting the Sega CD expansion. It becomes even more clear, when you consider that the initials of Master System, are MS, which is a commonly used nickname for Microsoft. The lineage is very clear, and proves that the Japanese never fully lost the war, and Bill Gates, has been a secret Japanese agent, the whole time.
And that SEGA had already been porting some exclusives to Windows PCs for years at that point...
No not exactly cause dreamcast the first microsoft branded one fool your just a mere mortal or u could be right
Makes sense 😂
Sounds about right!
@NES eh u right tho but just the same the new Xboxes to me are dreamcast variants
You're absolutely correct about the PS2 having the majority of Sega titles. We hat we didn't get here were the majority of Sega Ages titles, despite one compilation disc.
Been binge watching and listening at work in the morning. Really makes the 6 AM to 2 PM easy, keep up the good work and the great style Lady Decade.
There has to be an iceberg meme about this.
Nintendo Playstation.
Sega Playstation.
Sega XBox.
Atari Wii.
Keep Up the work Lady Decade!! This is an interesting topic that nobody, not even gaming historian talked about! Nice to hear! and congrats on 50k ! Hope you get to 100k soon!
I loved Sega I was really gutted when they stopped making consoles. I had to make an unwanted choice after Dreamcast do I choose PlayStation or Xbox, I chose PlayStation but nowadays I have more money so i have every console.
Sega were a great console maker it was a shame they dropped out of the hardware side, a shame they never carried on like nintendo .
I went with xbox
Well I had both the playstation 2 and xbox Just like I had the nintendo and saga master system and all that Still have my original xbox though still works too Also still have my super Nintendo and it still works too
While I have heard that the Xbox was to perhaps be a successor to the Dreamcast, one thing kind of confirmed that theory when I got my hands on one from a local thrift clearance store for $5 in perfect working order. It was just a plain Xbox, until I soldered in the mod chip, and started downloading disc images for it. Almost all of them weighed in around 1.2 GB, at least for the earlier releases. The same size, more or less, as the GDROM images for a Dreamcast ISO.
Perhaps Microsoft intended to use the same format for the Xbox, but upon learning the PS2 would be DVD based, they followed suit, and went with that as the default at first, but without the lousy excuse for copy protection (too big for CD-Rs, unless various sacrifices were made, and an already cracked encryption scheme), but the well established DVD format was already there, and they could go with an off the shelf DVD drive for the most part, which would in the end save them money.
Awesome! I was always curious about this. Sega dreamcast controller and the xbox duke controller the similarities can't be overlooked
Final Fantasy VII and VIII have the best videogame soundtracks, but Lords of Thunder for the TurboGrafx had the best music to listen to. Transformers:Beast Wars on PS1 is an honorable mention
What would happen if, Microsoft + Nintendo + Sony + sega = put aside their differences and made a super ultimate console together ?💯✔🤔🤝💡
Nothing good! There would be no point in pushing boundaries.
if only. That would be something. The mind boggles.
the most epic litigation ever!
That's the future pretty much. Less powerful machines that allows cloud gaming with no lag is the future
Reality would collapse
I luv SEGA all of their consoles the SG-1000, Master System, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Nomad and the Game Gear!
The video production here is so well done! The clips from various sources are spliced in exactly the right places to illustrate the crazy well researched narrative. Why so few subs?
Congratulations lady decade you've been working really hard on these videos for a long time I remember when you first started coming out with these videos... I know you'll get that TH-cam button
Totally digging this egg carrier music for the intro! As always great gaming history knowledge, thank you!
I think the most damage done to the Dreamcast is the absence of a DVD drive. This at a time when DVD was new and it was easy to say, honey we need a DVD player, oh look the PlayStation two is not much more than a basic DVD player! Ok Subbed!!!
The mythical 'set-top box' was mentioned early in the 1990s as a single device that could replace a VHS, PC, and game system. Technology was the biggest barrier to achieving the device, but increments were made along the way. The CD-i and 3DO had the multimedia discs like Compton's Encyclopedia as precursors to the information delivery online. Both also had Video CD support (with additional components) before the debut of DVD.
Streaming with any degree of quality was years away, but the DIVX DVD players had reusable discs which, with a quick online fee, could be watched for 48 hours. The concept was cheap fees to rent movies without a trip to rental stores. It failed, while DVD succeeded.
Microsoft also had WebTV, a set-top device that allowed TVs to access the internet at a chugging speed. It was adequate for accessing information, but little else.
All these steps were moving towards that ultimate goal of the set-top box which could replace the PC, and Microsoft clearly knew it. The big fear is that it would be another company to achieve it first, as presented in this video.
The biggest obstacle was really the ergonomics/use case. A PC wants to be on a desk with a task chair while everything else wants to be on a large screen for everyone to share. Even today, you could easily slap a keyboard and mouse onto all three current gen consoles but there's little point to doing so.
In my opinion I think Peter Moore did what he did because Sega of Japan killed off the 32x and then stopped supporting the Dreamcast. He was done with the company and moved on to bigger and better things of course screwing over Sega in the process. Karma is a bitch.
Another lovely bit of history, there. While the Xbox isn't the Dreamcast 2, it is fun to imagine what might've been had Microsoft not decided to go it on their own for the Xbox.
The fun part is, right now, I can play everything from Atari to PS2 on my Xbox Series, so if you're willing to do what Sega don't, it is possible to make it much more than even Microsoft ever intended.
@@SocksFCGameArchives No, you don't. No hacking or anything involved either. Can even be done in retail mode now, too.

Having only found this page this year and only finding out about 3 weeks ago that you and tophat are married makes me love you both so much more!! I wish you both very happy holidays and a blessed new year and to everyone else in the comments as well, Cheers everyone.
Dreamcast forever
I personally think Microsoft and sega knew that releasing a dreamcast 2 would be a bad decision due to sega having a bad reputation within the console market for short lived consoles so they released it under the Microsoft brand instead. You've only got to look at the console to see it was the successor to the dreamcast.
I can't imagine how utterly exhausting it is to research all of these reports and press articles. You're the GOAT
Jet Set Radio Future is still one of my favourite games of all time. Tho i never grew up with the OG Xbox, i only experienced the original Jet Set Radio on 360, and the soundtrack alone made me fall in love with it (clunky controls aside).
I keep hoping Sega will port it to current consoles and PC, even tho Bombrush cyberfunk is gonna be a proper spiritual successor next year unlike the og xbox.
Also Yes! Xenoblade X ost is top tier
If it weren't for Microsoft, the dominant position that SONY would have achieved with its poor quality standards that it has held for a few years would have led to another video game crisis like the one in 1983.
lol what poor qaulity standards? PS1 was amazing and had great games. Major com[anies like Square and Konami left Nintendo to make their games on PS. Not saying it also had bad games. but every console has.
Also lol MS was no competition with the og Xbox . Only 360
@@solid_justice5855 No they are right, for every good game on the PS1 there were about 5 bad games, even first party games in those days were sometimes pretty bad.
IF sony standards are so poor what does that say about ms who has lost every gen thus far to an supposedly inferior company lol. When I think of poor quality standards the xbox 360 comes to mind as ms had to extend the warranty(costing a billion) due to major hardware issues a first in the industries history ironically.
lol when u move game systems back and forth in your videos it always cracks me up
you may think it's not the spiritual successor, until you realize that xbox game pass is basically just Sega Channel.
that sega gt 2002 /jet set radio future disk was one of my fav games on my OG Xbox for the longest time and I always believed nothing could beat what they was all started developing on tho the xbox was literally a small factor gaming PC and most consoles and game developers started out as working with and or coding on one I'm just glad consoles nowadays are closer to them because it makes it easier for developers.
indeed so. I never heard of the Xbox or dreamcast, though years later I did pick up one at a yard sale for $40.00. and later bought the main launch title Halo:CE the game that really sold the system.
Yeah the only things that the Xbox has from the Dreamcast is the button layout and the option to put memory cards in on top of the controllers. There were really not enough games in order for it to be a true spiritual successor to the Dreamcast unlike the PS2 had to offer at the time.
Lady Decade is one of my favorite video game historians.
I don't think Peter Moore was the reason Dreamcast shut down. I think Peter Moore saw the writing on the wall and prepared Sega for their future, it just so happened he did such a good job with it that Microsoft appreciated what he did and saw his success and usefulness to them.
I miss the Dreamcast and the old sera, come too think of it. One of my best memories was renting House of the Dead from block busters on an overnight rent and rinsing it for nearly 24hrs.
I'd love to hit it with the actually, but not going to do it 😃
my whole argument for the spiritual successor angle is founded on sega's partnership with Microsoft, these significant similarities between Dreamcast and OG Xbox, and especially with regard to Chihiro and porting arcade titles to the Xbox. All 3 consoles that generation got Sega titles but the ones on Xbox looked and performed better then their team red or team blue equivalent. Glad to see you got into this one a little bit, I feel like I got my episode
2:28 a minor correction--the dreamcast is still the most powerful games console ever created.
@@Bloodstained2077 is that a real question asked of a meme comment? I personally find the 32x version of Doom to be the most powerful game ever put to code
@Android Hunter lol yeah the ps2 got emotional
I'm beyond confused. Please explain how. The 6th gen was when they stopped using bits because it got redundant and pointless.
@@BigGainer98 you must not be able to see my irony. I hope you have a good day today
Peter Moore is such an interesting guy. Learning why he had to leave Sega is sad, but also badass.
Panzer Dragoon Orta Limited Edition Xbox from Sega Direct is Literally a Sega Xbox.
You have one of the best jobs ever and you’re great at it ! 100,000 subscribers is gonna be easy !
I always kind of looked at the XBOX as a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast. The XBOX 360 was the real start of XBOX. The XBOX was my final new console I bought until the switch.
If you really think about it Sega has tried or has team up with every major gaming like Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft if you really think about it also great video as always Lady Decade! :)
Merry Christmas @Lady Decade. My best to you, Top Hat Gaming Man, and your family. Enjoy. Cheers!
I remember on an old IGN article I read well back when it was new in like 2009 or something That was actually where I learned about how Sony actually approached Sega about making a new console after Nintendo broke their deal all for Sega to laugh Sony out the building I had learned later on as I was reading that article that Sega and Microsoft were getting pretty close to making a console together as well. Nobody ever talks about the Sega and Microsoft potential partnership. Cool to see a video talking about it in more detail
Is interesting considering the idea of a Sega XBox, but it was too ambitious for the time, I guess that consider the XBox the Dreamcast 2 is right on some point, because is confirmed that many of the first Sega exclusives were Dreamcast projects, but in the end that idea was short, cause Sega ended publishing and launching games for every System specially PS2 (sadly many of the Sonic games were awful ports, but anyway what could be done?)
Yakuza should have been on xbox!
Every E3 I hope to the gaming gods that Microsoft will buy SEGA and straight up release a console called Xcast or Dreambox or some crap like that.
Wtf
I think the people who say the OG Xbox is the ‘Dreamcast 2’ or was the ‘spiritual successor’ to the Dreamcast, are actually in denial regarding Sega’s decision not to make consoles after the Dreamcast. The writing was on the wall for Sega consoles for many years prior to the end, we should just be thankful that Sega still exists in some way and not be mulling over wild and wonderful speculations of times long past.
Great video. However, I'd still debate that the X box take alot from the Dreamcast. Maybe not openly but it does to me, even if Sega supported the PS2 more. The Xbox has online built in like the Dreamcast. The controller's have slots for memory cards etc.
The PS2 just does not feel like it share DNA from the Dreamcast like the Xbox does. It just feels that way to me. Only my opinion. 👍🏼🤔😍
There is no question. Even the four controller ports. Regardless of how wants to see the details, XBox crowded out SEGA and took the third seat at the 3-seat table.
5:49, and that's when the dark age of gaming started on pc, when someone,a team or who know, said that "console will be better thanpc hurr durr". meaning that all devs were scared as shiit and developed only games for consoles. thankfully it all changed in recent years thanks God, those were dark times indeed
The Super Castlevania IV soundtrack is such an underrated gem.
Bear in mind that the owner of Microsoft has always tried to destroy and sabotage the competition and I do not believe that this case is the exception. Although SEGA was already in a major structural crisis by the time Dreamcast saw the light, it is curious that most of the games moved to XBOX and that the Windows operating system that Dreamcast had included (in addition to its own, of course) was quite inefficient and few wanted to develop games on it.
Windows CE was never included in the Dreamcast, either; it was loaded from the GD-ROM because Microsoft took so long developing the Dreamcast version that Sega did not have time to bake it into the console itself.
I remember that one gaming magazine thought the Xbox could help keep the Dreamcast supported longer due to the OS. The thought was Xbox games would be easy to port to the DC, but the DC's demise put the kibosh on whatever could have been.
@ Bill Gates said he didn't want to buy Sega after looking at their financials. Apparently that's when he decided to sabotage them instead.
Just like Sony, Microsoft was in corporate espionage to get into the console market.
I always loved castlevanias symphony of the night soundtrack.i even requested the track "I am the wind" for my funeral...
Damn shame the Dreamcast didn't last longer
Superb always a lot of info and in plenty of detail always something to learn i never knew before thanks for the video .
Growing up as a hard core Sega fan, in my later years of life I started seeing Sega for what they were. Sega of America and Japan were two idiots that sabotage themselves out of existence.
Today I am firmly planted on the Microsoft side of the coin for gaming as well as for gaming on a PC. If it wasn’t for Microsoft’s investment into Windows Media Edition, XBOX, and other home endeavors, gaming as we know it today would be MUCH different.
Honestly don’t feel sorry for Sega’s fate.
@Por Qué? Actually you wouldn’t have Dreamcast if Microsoft didn’t step in. While Sega did have several systems with online ability (modem) - Sega’s online experience was nothing compared to what Microsoft was able to deliver after the fact.
Yeah, they always stuck in my mind. if you think about it, the Xbox is a Dreamcast successor or spiritual sequel. It’s uncanny. Also, dream cast will always have a place in everybody’s heart and Sega knows that. The whole gaming community knows that. However, even being Bill Gates, does it mean squat if the hardware is butt cheek. So the Xbox competing with the Nintendo and PlayStation systems was a huge deal. It still is! Growing up in the early 2000s, licensed games would always be gamecube, PS2, Xbox, and sometimes PC. But the mature titles, were PS2, Xbox, and PC. Which is astounding because they were the consoles to have. It’s not like today were there are many options to play different games like Marvel’s Spider-Man or God of War. Just recently, if you didn’t have a PS4, your shit out of luck. But thanks to PC, the many options that can come about are inevitable. I’m just waiting on GamePass to be released on switch.
Good stuff. Some stuff was a great refresher and I learned some new stuff. Great vid.
Did any games actually use directx?
I was under the impression software COULD use windows ce, but outside of the web browser it wasn't really used.
Sort of like dev mode on xbone and xbox series with UWP
Sega in the mid 90s to late 90's were shooting themselves in the foot and Dreamcast was big here in the US for a year and half
14:42 I literally hate him for that. I wanted Shenmue 2 on the Sega Dreamcast so bad. 😤
I love your voice. I love your fashion style. You're well researched and, without sounding rude, you're definitely eye candy (I love how well you rock the patterned dresses. Chef's kiss). The only complaint I have is the really red filter you have on your own shots.
You have very youthful looking Olive skin and bright and shining hair so let me be the first to tell you that you don't need filters to make a good shot. You're bright and beautiful...own it! ❤️
Everyone loves Bills microchip - Such a powerful double meaning which most won't understand
Xbox was it's own thing. It missed one crucial thing to be a sega dreamcast 2. The feel. Nothing that gen felt like a sega dreamcast.
Absolutely correct. SEGA was a game company first and only. Games were in its DNA.
Imagine if sega stepped out of the shadow and came in with heat, show casing a new prototype with today's technology, I'd feel like a kid on christmas
Whenever ye put on a super serious tone then finish with a smile after talkin' the world becomes a lil more wholesome.
I mean, it's fairly obvious how Peter Moore intentionally sabotaged the Dreamcast to benefit Microsoft and develop a good enough relationship with them to take a higher paying job in the Xbox division.
Nice video. I waited for u to talk about this!
I remember getting a ps2 when it first came out. It game me games and a DVD player but I called 1800 people pc and still bought a computer. So I never thought of it as a computer I always liked having both.
Just think about it, had Microsoft NOT decided to enter the console war, do people really think that it would have been "just" Sony and Nintendo (asymmetrically) slugging it out for very long?...without ANY third competitor? There always seems to be exactly three seats at the console war table, so I strongly believe that some deep-pocketed company would have bailed out the SEGA financially and used the still-strong brand to create some kind of Dreamcast successor (or add-ons). There was too much money to be made for no one except Nintendo to attempt to steal some market share away from the PS2. The only reason nobody saved SEGA was because Microsoft was already casting a very long shadow and everyone could see that they were definitely going to steal that third seat one way or another.
The original Xbox is the Dreamcast 2. Microsoft clearly took from the hardware design. Sega just didn't own it anymore. 👽
A topic I have heard several TH-camrs cover. But none come close to been as entertaining as Lady Decade
Xbox with backwards compatibilty with Dreamcast and maybe even offering improvements like better framerate or 720p would made Xbox the best deal in the 6th gen.
This wasn't the first time Microsoft had dabbled in consoles. Microsoft created the MSX, a PC/Console Hybrid, which they licensed to several companies, including Sony. While most kept to this hybrid design, Daewoo had different ideas. They created the console line known as the Zemmix, with 4 different iterations between 1985 and 1995. The MSX became iconic in Japan and Brazil, becoming the standard for home computing and gaming. SEGA actually licensed its games to be ported to the MSX upto the release of the Megadrive.
The problem with this collaboration(like any other collaboration) would hardware be Sega's to control?
Commenting to please the algorithm daddies of TH-cam! I love this channel!!! Lady Decade is a treasure! I would subscribe more than once if I could!!!!
Great video🥂 For the record though: Peter Moore is a saint!🤣
My SEGA fanboy mind and my Xbox preference for modern systems salivate and then explode over the prospect of a Dreamcast back compatible og Xbox🤯
I still insist that the Xbox is the Dreamcast 2, even though SEGA released more games for PS2.
@SadisticGamer Where did your comment go?
I did notice how similar the Xbox controller was to the Dreamcast even having the memory slots but I thought they just copied everything because they do in a way.
Xbox is the appropriate sequel.
Dreamcast used WinCE to utilize Microsoft Direct X... Direct X Box.
I mean, I get it. However personally the Xbox was the successor of the Dreamcast because of all the similar beats the SEGA's games for the Xbox hit.
I was a Sega fan back to the Master System days. The problem they always had was they couldn't get enough third party publishers. Then with the Saturn they made a system that was hard to develop for that is why they partnered with MS for CE with Dreamcast. By then the damage had already been done. It also isn't supprising that Sony ended up with more Sega games. Sega always realeased more games in Japan than the US ever saw.
Lots of problems with both Sega and Nintendo's decisions. But re: 3rd party, Nintendo's bullying of 3rd parties is the main reason the master system died in the US.
Had Microsoft not chosen to bully their way into the third chair at the console war table, I strongly believe that SEGA would have been bailed out financially and the Dreamcast would have either been continued with performance add-ons like a DVD or extra chips or completely replaced by a backwards compatible "Dreamcast 2". There was simply too much money to be made in consoles to let SEGA go bankrupt and leave only Sony and Nintendo slugging it out. Sony would have still dominated that generation for sure but the SEGA offerings might have become the budget option or "eccentric choice" and I am sure it would have gotten excellent third-party support over time. The third party issue was originally caused by Nintendo but that tactic was deemed illegal and by the end of the Genesis's time in the sun, there was plenty of third party support for SEGA products.
@@patsk8872 One of the reasons actually. The other reason was poor distribution of the MS in NA as Sega relied on Tonka to sell it in the States which was a bad move on their end.
18:31 If there was no Xbox to slow PlayStation down, Nintendo probably would’ve sold twice as many GameCubes 😉
It takes an inventive mind to run and invent this Microsoft. And I'm very happy.
I always wondered how this collaboration fell apart. In magazines, it was all rumor *Sega bought by Microsoft?!" Still even now that rumor keeps creeping up. Back then, I did own an Xbox because I was interested in where the collaboration would go. But.. yeah it was a weird choice, and direction. Seeing where Sega is now, as a third party, who knows.
Microsoft, is Microsoft.
Corporate espionage.
I would have prefered Sega to be bought by Microsoft, instead of what we got.
@@nathleflutiste that was a discussion during the early days of the Xbox project. But Sega preferred to be third party, and independent. I like their decision more. It was bold, and gutsy
You won my respect with not only the Skies of the Arcadia soundtrack playing in the background but choosing FF7 as your favorite. 😂
Series X: "Power Your Dreams"
wow sega has been through a lot.
I got the Xbox cause of the halo games besides that I always stuck with Playstation
I still feel it's the dreamcast 2 lol I went straight from dreamcast to xbox and that's how it felt back then
Every time I bring up the Dreamcast in conversation, no one knows what im talking about. Which is sad because its one of my favorite consoles of all time.
lady decade is absolute legend. Fun watch aggain. she knows it all.
The world is gradually turning their backs on triple-A 3D games and going back to 2D (eg Axiom Verge, Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Shovel Knight). So really the Xbox Series X is the Sega Saturn Mark 6. Thank you, goodnight.
Microsoft should buy Sega from Sammy. Not only can they bring their IP onto Gamepass and have a Super Mascot like Sonic, but it would be clever to release future Xbox consoles in Japan under the Sega name 🤑
If they are gonna buy Activision/Blizzard and Bethesda, might as well get a mega Japanese brand to round out their portfolio and gain some ground against Nintendo and Sony.
BTW, it’s funny that Microsoft did the opposite of Bandai (Apple) Pippin in terms of Japanese marketing.
Hopefilly they'll treat sega right and hopefully they can revive phantasy star, oasis, skies of arcadia, shining force, panzer dragoon, and crusaders of centy.
love this channel! another great vid! thanks lady decade / lady decadance!
I'm really liking your videos and your husband's videos as well you guys are awesome cheers from st.louis Missouri 🙂🥂
That jumper is epic.
Sorry there seem to be some technical difficulties and my comment but I'm sure you can get the gist love you guys keep up your work
First time watching your videos,I absolutely love them thank you.
the reason why they said xbox is dreamcast 2 is because the only thing ps2 have is more dreamcast game while xbox exactly look like dreamcast just look at the controller
