What failed 90s console do you think had the most potential? And what direction do you think they would of pushed in if they lasted longer on the market? etc. Maybe the atari jaguar had longer what direction would it have pushed in? |

Dreamcast. Had they not rushed development, they could have foresaw the shortcomings that killed it, like the need to opt for DVD format media, with the capability of also playing movies. They would have been way ahead of the curb for the online game market, possibly might have kept them afloat for another generation. If that had happened, Xbox might not have ever came to exist. IMO, the Dreamcast had tremendous potential and was probably the most squandered product in game history. |

But for sure the Gamecube and Xbox would be in much weaker positions in this timeline. Resident evil 4 running on dreamcast? Was it's power touched into, or was it underpowered? Makes me wonder. |

Would have liked to have seen that happen. I'm not sure what the hardware we got would have been capable of doing, but I have a feeling people underestimate it a bit. |

The war lasted another year in europe maybe. I guess it was just delayed releases mostly. |
