The Dreamcast is a video game console made by Sega, and is the successor to the Sega Saturn. The Dreamcast was the first entry in the sixth generation of video game consoles and was released in late 1998, before its contemporaries — Sony's PlayStation 2, Microsoft's Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube.
Sega discontinued the Dreamcast in North America in February 2002 and withdrew entirely from the console hardware business, making it the company's last console. However, support of the system continued in Europe and Oceania until the end of 2002, as well as in Japan, where consoles were still sold until 2007 and new licensed games continued to be released.
Despite its short lifespan, the Dreamcast was widely hailed as ahead of its time, and is still held in high regard for pioneering online console gaming—it was the first console to include a built-in modem and Internet support for online play and VGA (640x480 at 32bit) progressive video output. As of 2010, the console is still supported through various homebrew video game releases.

Happy 11th birthday Dreamcast. Even if you did have an odd cord placement on your controller, you were one nifty console and were way ahead of your time!
