On the contrary I think that the Dreamcast is massively overrated as people tend to rate it based on what they think it could have been rather than on what it actually was. The Dreamcast was an incremental improvement on the PSOne and was always going to suffer once the technologically superior PS2 and Xbox hit the market. When it came out it was the best console on the market. Once the PS2 was released it wasn't.

You could also add Super Mario Sunshine to that list, but that really depends on your thoughts about the whole water pack thing. Personally, I felt it was ****. I could never really get into it because I was constantly having to refill the tank. Some fans loved it, though.
The lack of final fantasy and Gta was a real pain though, still I liked my gamecube, it was alright

Dreamcast. The bad games it had was it's biggest downfall. Don't get me wrong, there were good games too. But too many bad games killed it.Also, it lacked DVD.

Sega Saturn, some of the greatest and most unique games ever. I don't think the Dreamcast is underrated at all. It had a short lifespan in the spotlight but was popular for ages after, and the standard console for fighting games. It's rated quite highly by everyone.
