Yeah, the last Dreamcast game ever released was Japan-only I think, released sometime in early 2007.
And yeah, Dreamcast was way ahead of its time, having PS2-quality graphics almost two years before PS2 was released. Sadly it didn't catch on very well in USA, as everyone was awaiting the "Playstation Two", which was bought instead. Though some people like myself managed to get ahold of a Dreamcast for Xmas. :P
In Japan PS2 also beat it, despite a good lead. The fact that PS2 could play DVD's was a huge selling point for it in Japan; a lot of people bought it solely because it was much, much cheaper than standalone DVD players. It did put up a good fight though, having lots of Capcom fighting games on it, which the Japanese adore so much!
