The DreamVast is the fourth and last console released by Vena on Y12 M3 W4[1]. It is based on the Dreamcast by Sega. The DreamVast has a moderately successful launch, however sales of the console plummet when Vonny release the Playsystem 2 and Mirconoft releases the MBox console.
The DreamVast's main rivals are the Playsystem 2 by Vonny and the mBox by Mirconoft. The DreamVast fails to have a higher marketshare than either of its rival consoles.
The DreamVast introduced numerous features that would be standard to future consoles. All models were shipped with modems allowing users to browse the net and play games online via a dedicated server(s).

This console is the most advanced gaming console in history!'. The new console sports powerful graphics hardware promising graphic quality rivaling those on high-end PCs. The DreamVast is also the first console to ship with a modem out-of-the-box, making it ready for online play. The console will be available later next year."
- "Since release, DreamVast from Vena has been one of the fastest selling consoles in history but lately it seems that the anticipation of the upcoming Playsystem 2 release is slowing down sales. If the Playsystem 2 can hold up to the hype when it is released then Vena could be in deep trouble."

Vena's president said that while many companies will still deliver games for the platform, the company will no longer produce new units in the future. Vena fans worldwide are disappointed, as a beloved part of gaming console history is coming to an end."
