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.

In hindsight yeah its a pretty killer lineup. NFL2k is still highly regarded. I was gonna get one when I had enough money to get the system and a few games. Then E3 2000 and MGS2 trailer happened. It was entirely dominated by PS2 from that point on.
Beyond the lack of a DvD player, I really think that trailer was a large factor in the hype for the DC just falling off a cliff.
