Why did it fail when it had better games than Playstation?

It didn't, and software sales/attach rate reflect that.

Because the Saturn was
>shittier at handling 3D than the PSX
>more of a headache to develop games on than the PSX
>more expensive to manufacture than the PSX which put Sega in a deficit

Hope that helped, OP.

It cost $380 to manufacture and they were selling it for $150 at the end, and people only bought Virtua Fighter and no other game for it.

I lived through this gen and went from Mega Drive to PlayStation to Dreamcast, and I honestly can't name a single Saturn game. Not even one. Guessing they probably had some Sonic shit or something.

What the fuck. I just looked this up and you're right. There's some racing game and a weird isometric game with Sonic characters. Why didn't they just make a normal Sonic game?!

Yuji Naka thought this piece of shit would push consoles instead of a new Sonic. Lmfao...

I thought this thread was for discussing retro games? It seems like people just want to use it for resurrecting 25-year-old console wars they heard about on YouTube

Never saw a Saturn in my neck of Europe, saw a Genesis once, but otherwise it was Nintendo and then eventually Sony.
