>had the internet, an mmo, and a handheld console built into the controller itself
>dreamcast had hardware texture compression, "modifier volumes" which are a kind of spatial proto shader, bump mapping, 2x horizontal FSAA, more versatile/programmable fogging HW, and a few other features built-in
>8 MB of video memory (twice as much as the PS2, which launched two years later) and its native 480p VGA output (something no console of the time offered until the Xbox 360)
>480p progressive scan and VGA (now HDMI with adapters) output
>still lost

You listed a bunch of big whatever shit.

Depends on who you ask, but my understanding is that the damage from the Saturn was just too catastrophic to reasonably come back from.

psp was the best handheld yet sony exited handheld gaming
LG made the first dualscreen phones yet they don't make phones anymore
first one on the field is just the first one to spend money on developing that idea and have their ideas stolen competitor with a better product.

This >>750312653 but iirc it was also incredibly easy to pirate things and I think that really damaged sales
Doesn't help it eventually had to complete with the PS2
I always wanted one personally, a lot of neat games
Glad I was eventually able to play most on the GameCube eventually but still
