Nearly every title was high quality, and most of the games still hold up today, or are even better than ports on modern consoles. Hell, Sega themselves were releasing Dreamcast games all the way up til 2007 or 2008. "Crows", released in 2008 by Sega, is one of the best shmups in the last 20 years.
September 1999 alone had way more than 10 "mainstream blockbusters". So there you go, a time when that happened :) Would you like some more months? I could easily go on.
A launch month that consisted of almost a year of Japanese releases saved up and released all at once in the west is a bit of an odd example. But yes, I suppose the DC did have some solid months. Didn't save it from being dead in two years mind.
Dreamcast definitely didn't "die" after two years, as again, it was officially supported by Sega until 2007. Believe it or not, there are still online servers for most, if not all online titles for Dreamcast. I still play PSO on a weekly basis on my Dreamcast, and there are many, many others that do the same. I'd argue it never really died, as there is still a very active homebrew community for the Dreamcast to this very day, releasing patches and updates to current games, most recently the release of "Resident Evil 2: Special Edition" in 2024. Massive improvements made there over the PS1 version. Dreamcast is certainly more alive these days than the PS1 or N64 for sure, as people would not waste their time making new games for the console if there wasn't a market for it.
