An attempt to recapture the console market with a next-generation system, the Dreamcast was designed to supercede Sony's [[PlayStation]] and Nintendo's [[wp:Nintendo 64|N64]], and although generally considered to be "ahead of its time" (literally fifteen months before the [[PlayStation 2]] and three years before GameCube or [[Xbox]], and it was the first console which enabled players to go online), it failed to gather enough momentum before the release of the PlayStation 2 in March 2000. After the Dreamcast was discontinued, Sega withdrew from the console hardware business. | An attempt to recapture the console market with a next-generation system, the Dreamcast was designed to supercede Sony's [[PlayStation]] and Nintendo's [[wp:Nintendo 64|N64]], and although generally considered to be "ahead of its time" (literally fifteen months before the [[PlayStation 2]] and three years before [[wp:GameCube|GameCube]] or [[Xbox]], and it was the first console which enabled players to go online), it failed to gather enough momentum before the release of the PlayStation 2 in March 2000.

Only one [[Grand Theft Auto]] game, [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], was released for the Dreamcast, taking advantage of its advanced processing power, which allows the game to graphically appear on par with the [[Personal Computer|PC]] version as well as retaining various features, unlike the PlayStation version. There were also rumors of a [[Grand Theft Auto III]] port to the Dreamcast during development of the game, but it never came to fruition. | Only one [[Grand Theft Auto]] game, [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], was released for the Dreamcast, taking advantage of its advanced processing power, which allows the game to graphically appear on par with the [[Personal Computer|PC]] version as well as retaining various features, unlike the PlayStation version.
