SEGA of Japan misreading the market and basically completely disregarding the western install base which was already firmly planted in the Genesis brand. A Neptune with Sonic Mars or an upgraded CDX would've sold like hotcakes, but instead we got stuff like Manx TT and the infamously bad Virtua Fighter and Daytona ports, which weren't necessarily the games we wanted to begin with

>>9226376
You've come a long way...

32X gets a lot of hate, but a imagine for a second if Saturn never existed. 32X had
>A proper Sonic title (Chaotix)
>Solid 3D games (Virtua Racing Deluxe, Shadow Squadron, Darxide, FIFA, etc.)
>Arcade-accurate After Burner, Space Harrier, Virtua Fighter, and more
All at a more affordable price point for those who already own a Genesis, with a combo unit on the way which would've been backwards compatible with regular Genesis games. Its only real weakness was using carts instead of discs.

bahahahah good one man

Was pretty disappointing when the ditzy bald Saturn girl suddenly introduces you to her "companion" and then you get cucked by that guy.

>>9226735
yeah, just what the hell was up with the marketing? what where they thinking?!

>>9226376
>what went wrong bros
Sega of America’s arrogance and incompetence

I hate my life.

That guy's the best character though. Anyway they might just be fellow demigod emissaries from the Sega dimension, rather than lovers. You don't know.

where did you learn to fly?

It's funny cuz in the end the saturn ended up selling on par with the DC. So much for abandoning the saturn prematurely

>>9226376
>commercial aired in '95
>21st century begins in '01

yes yes we all know this because back when we were in high school in the 90s, every single annoying math teacher had to point out how "absolutely stupid" the whole world is for believing that the new millennium starts on January 1 2000. Still, nobody cared. Also, Prince was no fool, and changing the line to "we're gonna party like it's 2000" would have severely messed up the rhythmic meter of the song.

The dreamcast achieved those figures in only one year.

Nobody buying a next gen console was interested in model 1 games by 1995, let alone stone age super scaler games.
One look at Ridge Racer was enough to get people to buy Playstation over Saturn, what the fuck would Virtua Racing accomplish?

>>9228075
It wasn't all about 3D. Ristar, Vectorman, Yoshi's Island and DKC2 all came out in the same year as Saturn and are widely remembered as some of the best platformers on their respective systems, meanwhile almost nobody remembers the games Saturn got that year. There was basically no need to rush into the fifth gen to begin with, but at least the Neptune and CDX would've made it a smoother transition with backwards compatibility and some enhanced fourth gen titles.

>>9228054
Does it matter really matter? in the end it was a stupid strategy anyway because of the looming ps2 figure the dc never had a realistic chance. And the numbers where back to the shitter for japan the only saturn stronghold.

Sega's target demographic are men who are into being cuckolded.
It's the only way to explain Sonic Adventure.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SEGA!

You'll notice none of those games were on new hardware.
