Different from the previous generation host Sega Saturn, Dreamcast uses ready-made components, such as Hitachi's SH-4 central processing unit (CPU) and VideoLogic/ NEC's PowerVR2 graphics processor (GPU), to replace customized components to reduce costs. Although the initial sales of Dreamcast in North America were quite successful, after Sony began to promote its next-generation console PlayStation 2, the sales of Dreamcast consoles gradually declined. In the case of long-term sluggish sales, Sega's financial losses continued to expand. After reorganizing the leadership, Sega finally announced on1October 3 1 2006 that it would terminate the manufacture and development of Dreamcast hardware at the end of March, completely withdraw from the hardware market of home game consoles, and reorganize itself into a pure third-party game developer. Dreamcast only sold about 6.5438+million units in its life cycle, which is one of the most important commercial failures of Sega.
