if your wondering but the ps1 released at 300?? do your research before you make that claim cause in fact the ps3 was not the most expensive console sony had ever released. it in fact was the ps1. and on top of that the saturn itself was also the same price cause they wanted to compete vs the 3DO and CDI consoles. if your wondering what the price was its this both of those came out at (drum roll please) $799.95 now tell me if they released the same time as the 64 would the results been the same?  

I hoping you're referring to Australian dollars or something like that... The Sega Saturn launched at $400 (US) in 1995, while the Playstation launched at virtually the same time for $300. That's a major reason why the Playstation stomped all over the Saturn - well, that and Saturn's disastrous "surprise" early launch, one of the single dumbest decisions ever made in gaming history.

This is easily verified by any gaming history source.
