Sega had CD but they were thrown away by Sega's inability to support hardware and their tendency to premature kill there systems...32X used last gen storage and was supported for 2 years...Saturn was supported 4 years. 3rd parties were turned off by these things...One moment they're promoting it...next moment they're killing it. A lot of those companies had developed close working relations. There is no doubt the Kojima loves PS1,2,3 hardware a lot more the competition. Sony didn't show up and say "Here is a $50million if you go around saying you like us more." like MS did with Rockstar.
