Title: [Dreamcast-XBox] relation? I don't get it

So there are some who regard the XBox as a sort of spin-off/successor to the Dreamcast. So... why is that?
To me, the XBox has two things in common with the Dreamcast.OK so XBox development codename was "DirectX Box" given DirectX was used as a basis API throughout the first few consoles. Just think the "Planet X" one is a coincidence and a stretch. But still why do some think XBox is what we would of had if the Dreamcast continued or something?

I think one of the reasons is because many of SEGA franchises sequel was exclusively released there for some time.

Shenmue 2
JSRF
Shenmue 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
World Series Baseball
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
Sega GT 2002
The House of the Dead III
ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth

I guess so. I just want to know if there is any more of a connection to that or if it's purely just because of what you said. Like, XBox nothing to do with Sega so kind of a big leap to say it's the successor to the Dreamcast.
