----------------------------------------------------
Peter Moore, Electronic Arts' sports division leader, has written a retrospective on his blog today about his time with Sega America fronting the Dreamcast launch on the 9th September 1999. Suffice it to say, Peter's got lots of good memories, explaining how Sega's ill-fated console truly paved the way for online gaming, and even setting the record straight on some urban myths.
Alongside the sharing of corporate memories, the blog was also used to address a "misconception about the final days of the Dreamcast" - explaining that the call within the company to drop the Dreamcast came from Sega Japan and not America. While Peter's office was the source of the conference call announcing the fact, it appears that Japan's decision came after considering low sales numbers following the Christmas 2000 period.
