Dreamcast went down for a few specific reasons:

1. Sega were retarded and released addons for the genesis, mega cd and 32x and then dropped support for them not long after.

2. Saturn bombed pretty fast, again sega pretty much dropped support for it a couple of years into its life. Ea also dropped all support for the dreamcast because of sega pissing around.

After the above people pretty much got fed up of buying consoles and sega fucking them over. The ad campagin for dreamcast was weird as well, showed nothing of games just some big swirly logo. Add to that sonys utter bullshit about the capabilities of the ps2, that it was capable of rendering 300 million polygons per second, that jurassic park realism of graphics would be in their games etc. People just sucked all that bullshit in and took it as fact, graphically the ps2 was pretty piss poor, the dreamcast did have an advantage in graphics, but devs went to sony beucase of the previos sega antics of console support.

ps2 delivered on games but pretty much everything sony said about graphics was utter bullshit.
