What are you talking about? Saturn had lots of great games. Its just that most of its library wasn't localized for the west. I think that if it did happen, Saturn would have sold much better. But like you said SoJ and SoA were at each other's throats that entire time. I think that was the real reason why they went down. Saturn itself was quite powerful for its time. They just needed to sell it at $249 at launch and it needed a easier architecture to develop games for. Again that was more poor management.

I was a SEGA fan. I wish what you say would have been the case. The thing went on for years even worse than the Wii U while the PS1 got FF7, metal gear solid, silent hill, resident evil 2, tomb raider 2. What Japan got is mostly irrelevant as in the west it was a wasteland.
Sorry, but there wasnt any comparison. The Saturn was crushed not only by itself but by the competition.

I hate to say it but I disagree. Saturn had lots of great games, and it had some 3rd party support. I remember playing Tomb Raider, Toshinden, Resident Evil, and some others. It actually had lots of 3rd party support in Japan. Those droughts were worse because of no localization. We missed out on Symphony of the Night, Grandia, DOA, and Sakura Wars. If we had access to these games, I think that Saturn could have been something more. I still wish that Saturn got Lunar Silver Star Story Complete.
