Sega of Japan fricked them over with the Saturn.
Sega of Japan fricked Sega on almost all of their consloles, but Peter Moore specifically ended the Dreamcast and then fired heaps of Sega employees, Sega was actually working on another console to be a successor to the Dreamcast but Moore put a stop to it and got them out of the hardware business in 2002. Directly after he left Sega and became president for Microsoft.

I love sega and had the genesis/32x/segaCD/Saturn/dreamcast (snatcher ftw) but the dreamcast was the double edged sword of the downfall of sega in the hardware business, it was an amazing machine with amazing IPs (shenmue anyone?) but it came at a bad time , CD burners weren't quite in full force yet so they put literally no copy protection on it.
Want a game your bro just spent $50 on? Easy, just burn a copy and slap it in your dreamcast and turn it on.
Seriously I'm sure the guy who passed on the extra dev cost to employ basic copy protection on that machine is living under an overpass somewhere in japan
