timppu: I am sure there were lots of interesting exclusives on all Sega, Nintendo etc. consoles, but I just didn't feel like buying dozen different gaming platforms to my home.
On a serious note, I can relate. At a certain point, it became less realistic of me to constantly buy each new iteration of console. It meant that I missed out on quite a few games that simply never came to PC but at least I didn't end up in the gutter holding up a sign that read "Will work for an outlet and TV to hook up my consoles to".
With the Dreamcast - the exclusives didn't matter (well, I should say to myself and I have to assume others they didn't) but I had more fun with that console than I had with my first girlfriend (though they both broke my heart in different ways).
If the news were to break that a second Dreamcast was to ever be a thing that was brought into existence, I'd sell a family member to make sure I'd be able to get one of the first ones.
