The Dreamcast was released in Japan in November 27, 1998, and then released September 9, 1999 in North America.
Originally, many people liked the Dreamcast and it sold a lot.
In the United States, 300,000 machines were sold on the first week and Sega earned $98.4 million.

To help the Dreamcast sell even more, Sega told many stores to show some of their best games to customers, like Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, and Hydro Thunder.

Electronic Arts, a video games company, said that they did not want to make games for the Dreamcast until it sold one million machines.
This is because Electronic Arts' video games on the Sega Saturn did not make a lot of money.
However, in three months when the Dreamcast did sell one million machines, Electronic Arts still did not want to make games for the Dreamcast and made games for the PlayStation 2 instead.
