This one made me more sad than anything. I bought one immediately and loved it....that the Dreamcast would get Sega back on track as a console manufacturer and game publisher. The floodgate of piracy in its first year sent third parties FLEEING, just after Sega had done a bang-up job courting them with aggressive fees compared to Sony.
It was before it had been revealed, but having come off a strong generation with the 360, I thought MS would kick on and that the next Xbox would outsell PS4...
I didn't account on MS fucking up Xbox One so badly.
Man, I loved the Dreamcast. So many good first party games, and pretty danged good third party support too until the piracy....that the Dreamcast would get Sega back on track as a console manufacturer and game publisher.

Not too confusing.I thought the Switch would be a flash in the pan at best.
To be honest, its unbridled success still kind of confuses me.
Doom 2016 would suck and suck hard. All the pre-release footage looked fucking awful (they showcased that they were following basically every bad trend from mainstream console FPS games) and I had zero faith in Id since they hadn't made a good game since like... Quake 3? The multiplayer beta was embarrassingly bad too. Then the game came out and it was actually pretty good, and its success eventually led to Eternal which is the best single player FPS I've ever played.
I thought Doom 2016 would suck based on everything we've seen up to release. I was so happy wrong.
