I have always felt that Microsoft is the Sega we know today,but of course a different company.
Since Microsoft supported a lot on the Dreamcast with Sega,it used the same operation system as the Xbox which was Windows CE even though the Xbox was planned to use the GD-ROM
format,but never did due to licensing.
There were speculation of the Xbox being backwards compatible which never happen since online gaming was a huge thing for the Dreamcast,but would have had issues for both Dreamcast and Xbox games connecting online.
Without the Dreamcast backwards compatibility,Sega supported a lot on the Xbox with most of their franchises once their last game console failed and became a third party company afterwards,which were originally planned for Dreamcast such as Crazy Taxi 3,Gun Valkyre,Super Monkey Ball,Panzar Dragoon Orta aswell as many more which makes me think that the Xbox is the Dreamcast 2 as we know it,so we actually do have a Dreamcast 2 which I flipping think is great!The controllers on both consoles are similar with the button layout and style especially with the A,B,X and Y buttons which are even seen with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One,but feels that Microsoft is a bit like the 'modern-day' Sega with a lot of great Sega franchises on the Microsoft since 2001.
To me,the Xbox 360 is the Dreamcast 3 and the Xbox One is the Dreamcast 4.We still see Sega in every Microsoft console to date even after leaving the hardware business,but it does make you wonder why the Dreamcast Collection compliation was only released the Xbox 360,but does make you think.Yes?
