What made Microsoft succeed where Sega could not?

Microsoft haven't had it easy entering the business like Sony and Sega. Sega entered at a time when the industry was just recovering. The fact Nintendo had licensing policies that pushed third parties towards the Sega platform helped enormously, let's not forget that the arcade division of Sega pretty much made their brand too with the promise of the arcade experience in your home.

 

Uh.....sorry, but bullshit. Nintendo's licensing policies didn't "drive third parties to Sega". As in ever, at any time during the two company's history. Why do you think NES had so many games, while Master System didn't get a LOT of those games? And even when they quit that during the SNES days, most third parties CHOSE to remain developing for SNES, not Genesis.

 

And even in the following generation, most third parties that left Nintendo, went to the Playstation, not the Saturn. So.........what are you talking about again?

You need to learn to act like a civil person, perhaps then I might not consider your opinion to be complete garbage, then again...

 

 

Why? Because I said the word "bullshit"? I Wasn't being hostile towards you. I was "calling bullshit" on something you stated. Nothing else I said lacked merit, or is patently UN-true. So disregarding what someone has to say because they dared to use a "potty word", is rather immature and unwarrented.

 

Sorry if you were offended by such an innocuous term, by my point still stands, validity and all.
