It’s hard to say whether Panzer Dragoon Orta would’ve been more successful on a different platform – like the other Sega Xbox titles, it’s pretty much a niche genre, and possibly still would’ve been ignored. This didn’t quite work, because the system never shook off its stigma as a system for first person shooters and other Western-oriented games, and most of these games kinda flopped. However, Sega seemed to be offering its more hardcore offerings ( Gun Valkyrie, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta) on the Xbox, probably hoping to help establish Microsoft’s console as a successor to the Dreamcast. Most of the mainstream-targeted games went to the PlayStation 2 ( Virtua Fighter 4, Shinobi), and the kids titles ( Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg) made headway on the GameCube. After the death of the Dreamcast, Sega went multi-platform and divided its efforts amongst the three remaining platforms.
