It's just so drab and blah looking, I think that killed the console. Nobody wants such an ugly thing in their house.

For sure. But since it had 15 other problems, it would've still needed a lot more

looks pretty standard for the time. They were meant to blend in with things like VHS players. PS1 and N64 are also pretty bland looking.

It's the best-looking console of its time.

OPs hypothesis blows.
If anything it was the best looking of the three.

That wasn't the issue with the Saturn and compared to the PS1 I don't think there's a big power gap in looks

Saturn looked fine... not as good as the Genesis though, that one was SEGA's best in looks really.

Yes, unironically. I actually said the exact same thing here on /vr a while back and got shat on for suggesting it.
Good games are important, but so is the style. Saturn looks like a bootleg CD player. No style at all.

I've never even seen OP's version of the Saturn before, is it zoomer time again? they just grab whatever they find on google without ever having seen the real thing?
this is comparable to complaining about the Playstation and posting that PS-X DVD Player.

*the US Saturn library
Japanese Saturn library is 3 times bigger and has games like Dead or Alive, Cotton 2 and Metal Slug.
Blame the retard Bernie for blocking localization attempts.

Idk what OP posted but I actually owned a US Saturn when it was current and they looked like this.

Half the japanese saturn library is VNs and Mahjong titles.

Playstation has Dead or Alive and Metal Slug in the US and Cotton 2 is a five minute game.

It's terrible. Also had cheap DAC which made CD player function sound shit. Playstation still has good DAC.
