{{Stub}} The '''Sixth generation of video game hardware''' (1998-2013) expanded the home console market. This era introduced online gaming. After [[SEGA]]'s market failure with the [[SEGA Saturn]], they released a new console in [[1999 in video gaming|1999]] known as the [[Dreamcast]]. During the Dreamcast's development, [[Sony]] announced the [[PlayStation 2]] which would be released one year later. The Dreamcast did well for 1999 and 2000, but [[SEGA]] couldn't compete with the [[PlayStation 2]]'s DVD capability and growing game library, as well as the announcement of [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox]] and [[Nintendo]]'s [[GameCube]]. [[SEGA]] dropped out of the hardware market, and joined the 3rd party game designer business. The three consoles competed for the next five years until [[Seventh-Generation Consoles|the next generation]] came to be. {{VG History}} {{Sixth-Generation Hardware}} {{History of video games}}
