It is far to similar to the dreamcast. Seriously, everythign is reminisent of 5 years ago when the dream cast came out.
1. White console following an ugly black one.
2. Rushed to beat the sony consol (DC -PS2 & 360 - Ps3)
3. Both debut at MTV.
4. Both displayed at E3, only to have a Metal Gear solid trailor take away alot of the hype for it.
5. Did not support the new DVD format (DC only had a special type of CD, Xbox only has normal DVD not HD)
6. Few games at launch, with many consumers holding out to wait for the next consol.
7. Both Follow a big online hype
8. both played previous games under emulation
9. Oddly enough, DC first party racer, is the same company that developed the 360 first party racer PG3.
There were a few other wiered similarities.
