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 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 the next generation came to be.
Though video games are found today in homes worldwide, they actually got their start in the research labs of scientists early 1950s. Academics designed simple games, like tic-tac-toe and tennis. Sixth generation handheld game consoles generally have enough horsepower to match fourth generation home console graphics and audio. Some talented developers on lower spec systems and developers for high end handhelds are able to achieve 3D graphics comparable to early fifth generation home console games - an impressive feat at the time. The Dreamcast was the first console of the sixth generation, and it featured a built-in modem for online play, a unique VMU controller display, and an excellent, if small, game library.
