Other than the systems not selling well, what exactly are you seeing?

His history is wrong or uninformed.  Sega fouled up with the 32X and Sega CD add ons and then the Saturn was a mess.  The Dreamcast was doing decently for the time but Sega just ran out of money.  Running out of money caused Sega to drop the Dreamcast and go third party.  The only parallel I see is that Sony dominated that generation and the current.   The PS2 forced Sega to do numerous price cuts for the Dreamcast that they couldn't afford after their massive losses during the Saturn years.  Nintendo has barely even done a price drop on the Wii U.  So the only parallel is Sony dominating the home console market.

I lived through the SEGA CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast fiasco. Having an opinion of that time is not uninformed. It's not just what SEGA did dropping the Dreamcast so fast. It's dropping all of these failed systems without supporting the people who bought them. 

The parallels I see to Nintendo dropping support for Wii U so quickly are here. Look at the Game Boy Advanced. As soon as the DS system took off like a rocket Nintendo dropped the GBA so fast it made my head spin. Nintendo HAS stopped working on Wii U games. 

Wii U owners will be left high and dry.
