Russia and CIS
Sega wanted to market Dreamcast in late 2000, through Russian company NVT. The pre-release sales of the console started on November 10, 2000 with promised of full release until end of the year.[9] Larger plans for sales and marketing were canceled when Sega announced the end of production on January 31, 2001, which meant the end of all shipments to Russia and CIS. Even before that, there were companies importing the Dreamcast from Europe on their own and in the end of 2000, the console became popular due to pirated translations of games into Russian. With the popularity of the console, several local distributors decided to buy consoles from Sega and sell them on their own. It happened in 2001–2002 when Big Ben Interactive became a distributor in Western Europe. Local distributors bought consoles cheaply from them and began to distribute Dreamcast along with self made instructions in Russian.
