The Dreamcast was the last video game console produced by Sega. After the failure of the Sega Saturn, Sega created the Dreamcast to cut the prohibitive costs of their last console. Despite a successful American launch and a generally high-quality library, interest for the Dreamcast waned as soon as the PlayStation 2 hit the scene, not helped by Sega's American image being damaged by both the Saturn's stunted launch as well as the poor reception of the Sega CD and especially the 32X add-ons for the Genesis.
