Absolutely, and anybody who argues otherwise is a dumb zoomer, period. Sega way back in 1998 (though one could argue even earlier), saw the writing on the wall, knew that online gaming, especifically shooters, were going to be the next thing and they made a console prepared for just that, having dedicated online games, DLC, mouse and keyboard support, etc. The Dreamcast just wasn’t a DVD player, plain and simple. It even took MS 2 consoles to fulfill what Sega already had down pat, Sony didn’t even catch on properly until the next decade. I suppose the focus on the “arcade at home” was a bit outdaded, but then again, I don’t think anybody imagined arcades crashing the way they did in the 00’s.
