I say the Dreamcast is the best because it is legitimately one of the best consoles ever made. What were the games it had? Let me list a few:
Sonic Adventure
Soul Calibur
Grandia 2
Skies of Arcadia
Power Stone
Power Stone 2
Space Channel 5
Crazy Taxi
Crazy Taxi 2
Shenmue
RE: Code Veronica
Dynamite Cop
The House of the Dead 2
Virtual Tennis
Virtual Tennis 2
Marvel vs. Capcom
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Street Fighter 3 (pretty much every variant)
Metropolis Street Racer
Samba De Amigo
The Typing of the Dead
Jet Grind Radio
And I'm probably missing quite a few. Hell, I didn't even name great import games like Ikaruga. I'd have trouble naming that many good games for a lot of consoles that lasted a lot more than 2 years. The Dreamcast library was truly amazing.
As for why it failed, try releasing two failed peripherals for the Genesis, having the Saturn fail miserably, and then see how well you do when Sega of America fails to properly support and market the console. There were a lot of things that went wrong and lead to the Dreamcast failing. The console and the game library were not two of those things.
