Still haven't wake up with the Saturn 2-processor better than 1 hype? FYI, the 2nd Hitachi CPU in the Saturn was a last minute slapped on when SEGA realized how behind it is behind the PS1. They were pratically peeing in their pants when they saw the PS1. The 2nd Hitachi CPU last minute design was pretty much confirmed given where it was layout in the PCB board. You simply can't hide a last minute slap-on.

And in the end, it's not "developer didn't support". It's simply inferior 3D hardware and was designed as a powerful 2D hardware when 2D is so last-generation. The Saturn never could do impressive 3D graphics like PSX with true transparency, light sourcing, with higher polygon counts, which were all the rage those days. Even the best at SEGA then...AM2, Sonic Team, could only show graphics that is better than most 3rd party but still inferior to the PSX.
