An interesting and mostly objective take from Sega Lord X (from my favorite gaming YouTubers) regarding the hostility between Sega of America and Sega of Japan.

Also I should personally add that many western Sega fanboys (the ones that still have the same immature mentality they had during Sega - Nintendo console wars) still side with Sega of America just because they popularized Mega Drive in the west while Sega of America was responsible for making so many crappy games and therefore making customers losing their faith to Sega consoles (even with Dreamcast that had great third company support and strong advertisement worldwide ). And think about it, Sega's dominance at the Western market thanks to Mega Drive didn't lasted for long, especially with Donkey Kong Country's success at SNES along with other gems like Yoshi's Island and Killer Instinct that kept SNES alive and popular even with Playstation and Saturn's launch.


And let's not forget about Bernard Stolar, the asshole responsible for the "no rpgs" and "no 2d games" policies at Playstation 1 (thank goodness for Final Fantasy 7 and Pokemon popularizing jrpgs in the west even if I'm not fan of FF7 and FF series) and responsible for not bringing most of the best Japanese Saturn games in the west.

Yeah no. It wasn't til after Sega pulled out of the console market, that confidence in Sega's videogame quality took a nosedive and tanked the brand. Everyone knows Sonic 360 was the beginning of the end. Revisionist faggot.

Your comment about Stolar simply isn't accurate. He came in at the tail end of the Saturn a lifecycle in the west, and on Japan's orders he put the Saturn out to pasture in preparation for the Dreamcast. This weird alternative history of Sega when it comes to Stolar is very mins boggling.

He is a convenient scapegoat here.
I don't even think he had that much power at Sony. pretty sure Sony cucked all of the US execs once the system launched according to Bernie himself. Everyone got replaced by japs

It got absolutely mogged by PCE. Complete failure, and a distant third place. I can see why SoJ was so bitter and jealous of SoA who just stepped in the ring and immediately grabbed 50% of the largest market in the world

I'm sick of the SoA shills that read the same and tired interviews with Kalinske where he claims to be the lord and savior of Sega.

The majority of Sega classics were made in Japan. Why are Amerfats love so much to claim Japan's successful products as theirs with crap like "These products became successful because we popularlized them"? I see same shit with American anime "fans", especially the FUNimation shills.

List what SoA did wrong and then compare that to what SoJ did wrong. SoA had their share of foulups but it's no contest SoJ did more to run the company into the ground in the end. Why is this even up for debate? Are weebs just in denial?
