Sega of America was the worst thing to happen to Sega. Bernie Stolar was the president of Sega of America during the Saturn's rise and fall, he ruined the company. He originaly worked for Sony and Working Designs hated the guy so much that they chose the Saturn over the Playstation. But then he left Sony and switched over to Sega. Working Designs finished up their last game for the Saturn which turned out to be the last US Saturn release and switched over to Playstation just to get away from Bernie Stolar. Bernie Stolar was fired the day after the Dreamcast launched after pissing off Sega of Japan for setting the Dreamcast's starting price so low $199.99. But the damage was done and even though the Dreamcast did everything right and still stands as one of the greatest video game consoles of all time, Sega was forced to leave the hardware market. |
Usually agree with your posts, but this is full of misinformation, anecdotal heresay, misinterpretation and flat out untruths from start to finish. Half thinking it must be a joke post but not sure? No offense intended by my comment but I followed gaming news more around this time than now and none of this stuff made news around that time, or later.
Everyone knows Datona was awful, but that's because the Saturn was generally awful at 3D. The 2nd Datona came out way after the first and was in no way a replacement for "Datona USA" stinky mess that ran at sub 30fps.
The Saturn didn't go on sale the day after it was announced.
...More i type, more it must be a joke.
