Dreamcast and 360 comparisons

SoccerDude28 · 11-28-2005, 03:02 PM

This is a very interesting comparison between the 360 and Dreamcast
It lists 23 parallels between the 360 and Dreamcast here

and 10 reasons why 360 will succeed where Dreamcast failed
here

I like this one the most

vs

Pretty creepy huh?

They forgot one:

Dreamcast - Tons of video game characters, meh.

Xbox 360 - Sam Fisher.

That's soooooo stupid. I've seen this before, and everything that could be said about Xbox 360 vs. Dreamcast could be said against PS2 vs. Xbox.

A lot of those things aren't so creepy, when considering that Peter Moore is/was very much involved with both consoles.

If he was also responsible for the European marketing for DC, then I can safely say that Peter Moore is an ass. I've never seen marketing for a console done more badly than it was done with the Dreamcast in Europe.

I just found it interesting that Peter Moore was involved in both launches. And you gotta admit, the logos do kinda look similar

SakSquash · 11-28-2005, 04:37 PM

Yup. They're both circular.

Tanukitsune · 11-29-2005, 01:21 AM

If they are so similar doesn't that mean the 360 will fail too?

Intrepid Homoludens · 11-29-2005, 01:23 AM

No. It means you're superstitious.

Tanukitsune · 11-29-2005, 02:07 AM

Bah, this is just like the JFK and Lincoln, they only found similarities because THEY WANTED TO!

GASP! They are both consoles! And they are white! And they have letters in their name!
