Sega's marketing budget for the Dreamcast launch was three times bigger than that of the Saturn. Sega could not afford these losses, as their poor.Sega's initial strategy was to run the two consoles in parallel, 2D games being housed on the Saturn and 3D on the Dreamcast, though this became less and less tennable as time went on. These price drops, in an attempt to compete with Sony, caused the console to be sold at a significant loss.

Sega Dreamcast Sale Software Charts Of
While a reasonable success for Sega in financial terms, the Dreamcast's Japanese launch was something of a disappointment. Virtua Fighter 3tb was the biggest seller (debuting second in the software charts of that week), followed by Godzilla (16th), Pen Pen (21st) and July (25th). Within three days 140,830 consoles had been sold (bearing in mind this figure includes promotional and development units).Four titles were available at launch: July, Pen Pen TriIcelon, Virtua Fighter 3tb (and Dreamcast Arcade Stick), and Godzilla Generations. Sofmap had only 1,000 consoles to sell and promptly sold them all.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica, also planned to launch early in the Dreamcast's life, was delayed until at least the autumn of 1999. Planned launch title Sega Rally 2 was also affected, being knocked back to January 14 (alongside Sengoku Turb and originally Blue Stinger) , while Sonic Adventure saw a two week delay to December 23. However half of these titles were delayed at the last minute, with Blue Stinger being pushed back to March 1999 and Geist Force being cancelled outright. The original plan was to release one game a week for four weeks following the launch, Blue Stinger on the 3rd of December, Geist Force on the 10th, Sonic Adventure on the 17th and the combined batch of Evolution, Incoming, Monaco Grand Prix: Racing Simulation 2 and Seventh Cross Evolution on the 23rd. Sega and NEC agreed to publically blame the chip manufacturer , though Sega is thought to have threatened legal action against NEC as well. Furthermore, a lack of stock meant the system was effectively sold out before it had even launched - Shoichiro Irimajiri was reportedly dismayed that the firm had failed to distribute its 200,000 system target to retailers for the launch period , while others citied the low quantity (and lack of quality) of the four launch titles.Sega put a lot of spin in its press releases - while the console was indeed sold out and shortages were common throughout the Christmas 1998 period (as "demand outstripped supply"), this was because NEC was only able to produce about 30% of the anticipated PowerVR chips, causing Sega's initial projection of 300,000 units sold over the period to be effectively halved.
In the beginning of June, Sega held the Sega New Challenge Conference '99, and the console's price was lowered to ¥19,900 , with the four launch games dropping to ¥1,990 (and changes coming into effect on the 24th ). Keeping with the now long-running trend, Dreamcast releases were spread thin across the first half of 1999, to the point where the Nintendo 64 is thought to have out-performed Sega's new console. Sega put a 500,000 units sold target for the end of 1998 , doubling for March 31st , though Sega only managed 900,000 , breaking the 1 million mark in May. The aim was to attract as many developers as possible within a year to attempt to secure the Dreamcast as the number one consoles of its generation.
By the Summer of 2000, 2.1 million Dreamcasts had been sold in Japan. Peter Moore, however announced at this time that there were roughly 330,000 Japanese members of the region's Dreamcast network. The spike subsided and sales continued to be sluggish - the 1.1 million sales for the fiscal year of 1999/2000 (ending March 31st 2000) was missed, with Sega only managing to sell 950,000 units in Japan and 7.04 million pieces of software. Going into 2000, Sega were said to be losing ¥2,000 for every Dreamcast sold in Japan. A few months later, Sega got caught in a raid by Japanese officials for allegedly pressuring retailers to stick to that price.
Instead, Sega forced Western consumers to wait ten months, to both analyse the situation in their home market, and so as not to repeat the mistakes with the Sega Saturn. As such, like the Saturn, the Dreamcast was subjected to many games exclusive to Japan, along with numerous exclusive peripherals and special Dreamcast models.In the lead up to launch, Sega of America forgot to tell people that the Dreamcast was a games console.There was never a plan to launch the Dreamcast in the US simultaneously with Japan. With the Saturn and Dreamcast, they felt (perhaps wrongly) that Japan was the key territory. With the Mega Drive, Sega had identified the US and Europe as the largest video game markets. Over the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2001, 450,000 Dreamcasts were sold in Japan alongside 4.75 million software units.
