and the saturn is actually a more powerful console then the playstation. the only thing that keep the playstation alive was its 3D capability and like the guy said, more pirated games!!

Hello. Wake up. Which part of the Saturn is "more powerful" than the PS1? please dun throw around that crap about having more processors being better. The Saturn processor are last-minute slap on coz they realized that the PS1 is way too powerful and the Saturn was a 2D machine, not 3D machine. It's funny to think that from the people who innovate the 3D arcades gaming, will choose 2D instead of 3D. They should have forsee the future, it was their dumb mistake. The Saturn 2D is no doubt better than the PS1, but in a world going 3D, who cares about 2D already...

The Saturn absolutely suck at 3D.
(btw, i own Saturn, Megadrive and ex-owner of that crap Dreamcast).

And oh yeah, SEGA fanboys, wake up and smell the coffe, teh tarik, milo, horlick and whatever.

SEGA has been killing itself slowly the last few years. After dumping the console business, they can't even compete in the software arena even when fully focused. The problem with SEGA is they create arcade games and all their games have this arcade objective in mind. Problem is, arcade is dead and arcade game is meant to last a short period , unlike console games, which can have more depth and longer playability. Somehow, they never dig themselves out of their arcade mentality.

Yu Suzuki and Yuki Nakajima used to have rock star status back in 80's and 90's, but now, i guess nobody really cares about them.

They're obsolete and just can't get out of the rut. This is 2xxx already. Their type of game design just can't fit in this decade.

Really, SEGA should just close down and sell burgers.

huhu.. sega, they bring a benchmark when they brings dreamcast to the market.. a powerful console.. at that time, compared to it's rival, a playstation.. it has much much capabilities.. but dunno why still playstation dominating the market.. maybe because of the price of the console.. and maybe technologies at that time, ppl see playstation is already ok for them..

Err...u compare DC with Playstation?? That's like comparing XBOX360 with PS2.

Being next gen console, of course it was more powerful than the previous gen!!! doh.gif

The DC was brought out 2 years too early as the saturn die early and they have to bring in a replacement. Unfortunately, in their haste to make fast cash, they haven't do their proper job by getting enuff 3rd party to commit to their platform. EA was just one of them. And please dun blame EA anymore. I dun think their games is that critical to the survival of a console platform (but maybe in US, crappy boring yearly re-hash of football nd basketball sells like hotcakes).

And when the PS2 comes out a year later, all was lost for the DC. Simply becoz there isn't enuff 3rd party support. And dun blame the competition for their own incompetence.

Also, their 1st party games also heck boring. Even their in-house developers couldn't bring the best out of the machine and it was actually Namco who made probably the best looking DC game in Soul Calibur, way ahead of VF3 ( a mediocre conversion at best). Seriously, Soul Calibur looks so good that even the SC2 on the XBOX doesn't looks much better than it. It was way ahead of it's time.

Yu Suzuki's Shenmue was an expensive joke and Sonic is just too old(and fugly) to save the DC.

SEGA did themselves in and nobody to blame for.

the port of virtual fighter from arcade to dreamcast was not done by sega but by genki.

Yeah. I remember now. They are not even committed enuff to have AM2 do the conversion, instead hands it down to some 3rd rate developer. How do u expect 3rd party to get committed?? doh.gif

Anyway, SC blows everything away, even the original Model 3 VF3 arcade version.

DC lose to PS2 coz they didn't have the dvd support when it came out (they stated it so during an interview in G4 once). PS2 is the cheapest DVD Player on the market when it came out. I bet it can still have it saving grace if it had that feature.
