I'd argue that if the 32X was cancelled before release and all it's worthwhile games moved to the Saturn for it's launch would have probably done a world of good for getting the Saturn off on the right foot.

But really what ultimately killed Sega was the decision to kill the Saturn in the West in 1997 and have absolutely no revenue other than Japan coming in for 2 and half years while bleeding money on Dreamcast R&D. That set the Dreamcast up for failure as the sales it had to meet were ridiculously high. The Dreamcast actually did sell well contrary to popular internet myths, it just wasn't enough because Sega was bleeding money for 2.5 years prior. Throw in that Mr. Stolar decided to sell the Dreamcast at a massive loss in the US and that bleeding became a full on hemorrhage.

>Throw in that Mr. Stolar decided to sell the Dreamcast at a massive loss in the US and that bleeding became a full on hemorrhage.

they learnt from their mistake with the saturn that expensive hardware doesn't sell as much as cheap hardware like the genesis did.

also, bernie literally did nothing wrong, getting developers ready for saturn's successor which would have much easier hardware to work with and more powerful than anything else at the time (including the upcoming ps2) was the right call, rather than make them waste time on the saturn which had a pathetic install base that wasn't getting any better in the 2,3 years it'd lived.

Most consoles were just random square and or rectangle shapes of varying color and or texturing. At least they weren't pure cubes like the gamecube though, with a handle.

Virtual Boy was the most interesting to look at and required no external monitor. Though Dreamcast had the most interesting controller. Then agian, perhaps you think teh Virtual Boy was a mobile device. I guess it did have batteries, but then gamecube, ps1, etc, had screens and batteries added randomly too. Even if the vb was mobile it's still the most interesting looking while the rest look too much like a tool and less like a toy. Like some corporate external device they mostly look like. All so square, or >>6598720 looks literally like a small printer. Scantrons and printers. To the point that old gameboys actually HAD printers. So vapid. The vapid squares/rectangles need to end.

Pretty good, one of my favorites for the games, but I can say the WonderMega has it beat in the looks department.
