Money.

This

-What about the fact that Sega still used CD's instead of DVD's?

-What about the fact that Sega was in the hole after mammoth pricing on the Saturn and then cutting this lifespan early to beat Sony to the punch?

-They died more because of those two things rather than the money. If money was the case.....Nintendo wouldn't be here after the asswhipping Sony layed upon it during the N64 and the Gamecube era.

Just like Sega, Nintendo couldn't afford to make the mistakes that Sega made. The difference is that Nintendo never made the mistakes that Sega made. Easy as that!

 

Sure, they made some other mistakes, but nothing as fatal as Sega's mistakes.
