    This kills the SEGA.

    Seriously, the infighting and cannibalized sales between the 32X and the Saturn are a big reason why SEGA doesn’t make consoles anymore.

      Yeah. It’s really was the beginning of the end. So many fans felt taken advantage of. I got the Saturn and it was great but the releases between them all were too close and too much.

      Not to mention the richer video the sega CD was capable of showing encouraged most games for it to pretty much just be choose your own adventure movies (from what I’ve heard, since I grew up on the Nintendo side of that deadly console war). Those “games” IMO are the poster child of games that focus all on graphics at the expense of gameplay, though they can be really rich in story. If younger me had gotten one of those, my disappointment would have been severe.

      Also don’t forget that they released the Dreamcast in the midst of all that, too.

    I had a Coleco Adam which was basically something like this that turned the Coleco into a complete computer instead of just a game console. God I would love something like that for my PS5.
