What if Sega Dreamcast continued production?

This is my what could have been article for the Sega Dreamcast, which has been considered one of the greatest video game consoles of all time, despite its short three-year production and being outrivalled by the PlayStation 2.

Xbox backward compatible with Dreamcast 

Prior to the discontinuation in 2001, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates officially discussed talks with Sega president Isao Okawa allowing Xbox console being backward compatible with the Dreamcast. It was so close, but cut short due to Okawa's death on March 16, 2001, fourteen days before the discontinuation of Dreamcast.

Closest thing that happened was when the controller of the Xbox 360 was similar to the Dreamcast.

Dreamcast 2

Had the Dreamcast still continued production, there would be a successor for the seventh generation which most Dreamcast fans would call it the Dreamcast 2.
