They had one last shot, and on September 9, 1999 Sega threw their Hail Mary pass: the Sega Dreamcast.
Once again, Sega was ahead of its competitors. Sony and Nintendo wouldn't end up releasing their own follow-up consoles until 2001. The Dreamcast was a thing to marvel at, with cutting-edge hardware and graphical capabilities. The PlayStation and Nintendo 64 looked severely outdated by comparison.
The Dreamcast was well-liked and successful, ending the decade on a high note for Sega. Ultimately though, the early 2000s would see the upcoming Nintendo and Sony consoles eclipsing the Dreamcast in both sales and popularity. The damage of past missteps had been done, and 1999's Dreamcast would ultimately be Sega's final console.
