I have to agree... the release of the Xbox 360 seems like a deja vu of the Dreamcast release. Why did dreamcast fail against PS2? The primary reason, in my opinion is the lack of support for DVD. This situation is almost the exact same as the Dreamcast vs. PS2 situation, Sega did not adapt to the new technology while Sony did.
However, what is different this time is that there is still an ongoing battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray for the title of the next generation Digital Storage Media, but with Sony jumping on the band wagon for the next gen media and supporting games all the way back to the original PSX, I think it is really at Microsoft's disadvantage to launch the Xbox 360 with only DVD support and limited original Xbox game support. I guess only time will tell which system will emerge victorious.
