Dreamcast system off to slow start.

Hey everyone, on the front page of today's Daily News here in Los Angeles there was an article talking about Dreamcast.

I'll reprint the first three paragraphs for you...

DREAMCAST SYSTEM OFF TO SLOW START

By Valerie Kuklenski

The launching Thursday of Dreamcast, Sega's video game system, has been heavily hyped as the biggest opening day ever in entertainment, with sales forecast at $45 million to $90 million, but San Fernando Valley game players were not beating paths to local dealers as retailers had hoped they would.
While a Sega spokeswoman said about 1000 people lined up outside a San Jose store at midnight to get their reserved Dreamcasts, Valley stores reported sales at or below expected levels.
"So far our sales are kind of disappointing," Derek Young of Best Buy in Woodland Hills said late Thursday afternoon. "I'd say probably in the last few hours I've been here, we've had a handful sold. The games are moving well but not the systems."
