There was also Sega's history of really flighty support.

they released like a dozen consoles/add-ons between Genesis and Dreamcast. They supported like 3 for more than a month.

This is the reason no-one I knew bought a Dreamcast. Lack of faith in Sega's ability to keep a system up and running.

They could have competed with inferior technology...They had done it before. They released Genesis before SNES, and it ended up showinghow dated it was even against SNES LAUNCH titles. That didn't kill them, though.
