With a software tie ratio this low, despite having a low hardware sales figures, the original Xbox is the only 6th gen console apparently used mostly to watch DVDs and to just gather dust.
Shameless...

There was a level of computer literacy on display that the worst you would get out of it is people arguing over bus bit width as if it was significant, far better than what we have today - almost identical systems nobody really knows the specifications of exactly but can tell comfortably they are not being utilized effectively.

The official uniform of PlayStation 2. Polygonal dress with twin blue/black kerchief folded on top of the chest. Incredible.

I think Dark Cloud speaks specifically to early adopters of the PS2. While there were good games before this one, Dark Cloud was the game that hooked us to the console. It had a unique vision for the time - not just saving the world but rebuilding it yourself. The original vision for Georama is much more elaborate and I'm sure enticing to any Dark Cloud fan today. The Laputa islands, the greater sense of control in how you place world elements, freedom to adjust time of day, and jumping! There was a lot more going on in here. It's no surprise it got stripped down to a more streamlined version but I'd have loved to see a game with all of those features.

The Dreamcast died because it put you into a deep permanent sleep whenever you played 2 minutes of Shenume.

Kalinske was the only reasonable individual among Sega's executives and responsible for keeping Sega's console division active and relevant for a few more years.
He would never have approved the allocating so many resources to things like VMUs and niche (and boring) games like Shenmue and Seaman.
Sega of Japan was run literally by delusional schizos.
