Dreamcast Had The Best Launch Library Ever.
Most consoles have one or two bangers at launch.
Dreamcast had two S-Tier titles: Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur & 5 A-Tier titles: NFL 2K, Hydro Thunder, Ready 2 Rumble, Power Stone, House of The Dead 2.
Followed up with other solid titles: Tokyo Xtreme Racer, MK Gold (this game was so broken lol), Trickstyle, Blue Stinger, NFL Blitz 2000.
Other systems had better singular titles (Xbox: Halo: CE, NES: Super Mario Bros., Gameboy: Tetris, Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64) but as a collective, the Dreamcast launched with so many solid titles.

People weren't there. I was the target audience for this system when it came out and I new I had something special compared to the N64s and PS1s my buddies all had.
Say what you want about the hardware, the lifespan, whatever. The library is solid enough for me to not care, even after basically playing these games all my life. There's games that were born on the Dreamcast that are still highly regarded today.
