The sega CD while not the best seller wasn't a brand doomer. The CD has its place in history, however the decline began with the 32X and Nomad as both weren't heavily supported.

The CD helped in screwing everything up. Instead of designing the Saturn when the Genesis was dying. They go and Make the CD add-on. Wasting time to get things out. Plus, it was always hated because it required AC adapters, AV wires, etc. Might as well been the Saturn from the start.

 

I like the Sega CD only because there are some good games on it, but I do agree it was the very beginning of Sega's demise.  They then released the 32X which did even worse than the Sega CD, which anyone could have told you that was  going to happen.  Their poor development and bad start of the Saturn, and then their big Dreamcast mistake.  As great as the console was, it's kind of hard to sell games when people can just burn them and play them right off  the console.  If Sega did stuff a little different, the current gen might have Nintendo making games for Sega instead of the other way around.  Or might not have got Sony or Microsoft to join the market.

I agree on that. It did have some good games. I have them too. But when I got the CD for the first time. I though why isn't this a new system. All those wires made my room a mess lol.
