Ah, the sega marketing teams from the 90's. They really were on crack back then... or really desperate. XD

I had both systems. PSX was superior to Saturn in every way. What killed me about Saturn was, it was fourth console to be released by Sega in just a few short years, and we were getting sick of it. Once I bought my Playstation, that was all she wrote for my tenure as a Sega Saturn player.

Shenmue should've been that game for the Dreamcast. It had a lot of aspects that were really revolutionary at the time, a day/night cycle, changing weather patterns, and even npc's who followed their own schedules. Unfortunately the name and the advertising sucked, and it underperformed...

@reniisgod I agree, the Dreamcast was an underrated system,but to me the system lack what some would call the "killer APP" to drive Massive sales on the system.For example Halo is a killer App responsible for most of Xbox 1 success in the U.S.To me most of the great games on the Dreamcast was the ones that was available on other systems.To me It had alot of good exclusive games but not alot of great exclusive games.And Actually the Saturn was the first online playing Console.

@barlog20 Agree with most of your statement. Totally disagree with your Dreamcast comment tho. The Dreamcast to me and to many other gamers out there see it as the most underrated console of its generation and perhaps ever. The legacy of the Dreamcast should never be forgotten, first online playing console is a major factor that must be respected. Way ahead of it's time it must be said.

Sega=a-lot of talented developers but horrible business men and lacked great visionaries on the Console side.Sega was bringing out a new system every 2 to 3 years on Average.Also Silicon Graphics the maker of the N64 approached Sega before they approached Nintendo about creating their next Gen system but Sega turned them down and wound up making a way to difficult to develop for system and an expensive one to boot.Then Sega went on to create the under powered Dreamcast which have no DVD player.

The problem was, no developer knew how to utilize all 3 processors.
