DESCRIPTION:\nOn November 27\, 1998\, the Dreamcast launched in Japan at
	 a price of JP¥29\,000\, and the entire stock sold out by the end of the 
	day. However\, of the four games available at launch\, only one—a port o
	f Virtua Fighter 3\, the most successful arcade game Sega ever released in
	 Japan—sold well. Sega estimated that an additional 200\,000-300\,000 Dr
	eamcast units could have been sold with sufficient supply. Key Dreamcast s
	oftware titles Sonic Adventure and Sega Rally Championship 2\, which had b
	een delayed\, arrived within the following weeks\, but sales continued to 
	be slower than expected. Irimajiri hoped to sell over 1 million Dreamcast 
	units in Japan by February 1999\, but less than 900\,000 were sold\, under
	mining Sega's attempts to build up a sufficient installed base to ensure t
	he Dreamcast's survival after the arrival of competition from other manufa
	cturers. There were reports of disappointed Japanese consumers returning t
	heir Dreamcasts and using the refund to purchase additional PlayStation so
	ftware.[53] Seaman\, released in July 1999\, was considered the Dreamcast'
	s first major hit in Japan. Prior to the Western launch\, Sega reduced the
	 price of the Dreamcast to JP¥19\,900\, effectively making the hardware u
	nprofitable but increasing sales. The price reduction and release of Namco
	's Soul Calibur helped Sega to gain 17 percent on its shares.\n\n\n\n\nSou
