In the history of video games, the sixth-generation era refers to the computer and video games, video game consoles, and handheld gaming devices available at the turn of the 21st century, starting on November 27, 1998. Platforms in the sixth generation include consoles from four companies: the Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Microsoft Xbox. This era began on. Generation 6: 2000 – 2001. The stage is set with all new players now and they're a far cry from the brands we started out with. We can barely remember Atari and Intellivision. In the sixth generation of gaming, it's all about Sony v.s. Microsoft, with Nintendo still trading on its legacy.

The Sixth generation of video game hardware (1998-2013) expanded the home console market. This era introduced online gaming. After SEGA's market failure with the SEGA Saturn, they released a new console in 1999 known as the Dreamcast. During the Dreamcast's development, Sony announced the PlayStation 2 which would be released one year later. The Dreamcast did well for 1999 and 2000, but SEGA couldn't compete with the PlayStation 2's DVD capability and growing game library, as well as the announcement of Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube. SEGA dropped out of the hardware market, and joined the 3rd party game designer business. The three consoles competed for the next five years until the next generation came to be.
