On January 31, 2001, Sega announced that they would be transitioning to third-party developers and publishing games for Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft's consoles, while the Dreamcast was discontinued on March 31, 2001.[4]
According to PC Data, the top ten best-selling Dreamcast Games in 2000 were, in order: NFL 2K1, Crazy Taxi, NBA 2K1, Shenmue, Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, NHL 2K, World Series Baseball 2K1, Sonic Adventure, NBA 2K and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.[5] At 2.5 million copies, Sonic Adventure is the best-selling Dreamcast game.
According to GamePro, the Dreamcast's game library was celebrated.[6] In January 2000, Electronic Gaming Monthly wrote that "with triple-A stuff like Soul Calibur, NBA 2K, and soon Crazy Taxi to kick around, we figure you're happy you took the 128-bit plunge".[7] In a retrospective, PC Magazine referred to Dreamcast's "killer library" and said that Sega's creative influence and visual innovation had been at its peak.[8]
