At least part of it was being the last CD-based console when the DVD juggernaut was around the corner. Games wouldn't take long to outgrow CDs.
There was a plan for a DVD add on but obviously the console died before any of that stuff was released. I still think that was a minor reason for the failure though as it was more about consumer/studio trust in Sega.
Yeah, that seems to be the thesis of the video as well. I think they would have also run into problems with their expensive VMUs and the lack of a second analog stick. Even with a killer launch window, they had a steep hill to climb.
