The PSP is only played twice as often as the DC! O_O

How many play Atari Jaguar?

[DaMadFiddler]

-5.

The Jaguar is looked upon so poorly that the strength of people's drive not to play it is actually resulting in a time warp, causing people who owned the Jaguar at one point in time to UNplay it.

Saturn over Dreamcast

Saturn over Dreamcast

Saturn was actually a huge success in Japan, and the Genesis/Mega Drive was kind of a flop.

Why PS 1 2 & 3 are joined together?

Then Nintendo 64, GC, Wii should be joined as one.

Dreamcast was and is a bigger success. That's why we saw official releases for Dreamcast in 2007, six yeard after it was officially discontinued.

That's not a proper indicator of how successful a console was. The Dreamcast never had another Sega console after it to steal its games like the Saturn did, and the Dreamcast has maintained a larger cult following thanks to the internet. I'd say that the Saturn was more of a success in Japan while the systems were alive, but I honestly don't know the numbers.

The last official Saturn game was released in December 2000. The development cost is cheaper on Dreamcast, that's why most of the japenese developers moved to Dreamcast.

The only reason they haven't moved on from the DC is because there is no Sega console to move on with.

That's not right. Video games is a business; if the companies can't get enough money developing games on a console, they will move to a better console (even if the console is not from the same company they left).
In Japan, many Dating Sims/Shooter developers left the Dreamcast and moved to PlayStation 2.

Saturn was at least twice as successful as the Dreamcast was in Japan. It was by far Sega's most successful hardware in Japan. Even in worldwide sales, the Saturn sold at least three times better than the Dreamcast.

This does not mean the DC wasn't successful (given the incredibly short time it was supported); nor does it mean the Saturn was a success (which it was only in Japan).

Saturn sold less than 10 million worldwide, and Dreamcast 10.8 million worldwide. Dreamcast had a bigger support after it died (2001), 2002 and 2004 were big years for Dreamcast on Japan.

Hm, just came back from Wikipedia and they do list 10 million units for worldwide sales. I could have sworn it's been 33 million units. Gotta check that.
