If you were to ask the same question about the GameCube for example, I wouldn't know if it was because of Nintendo's lineup, third party support, marketing, or any of a dozen other factors. I can make up my own "Saturn Suceeds" scenario and work from there, but if you had anything in mind, it'd be good to know. |
for the record, the Gamecube is falsely thought of as a 'failure', Nintendo didn't sell a kajillion hardware but they made a good deal more money in profit that Gen from the Gamecube than Microsoft and Sony did from the Xbox / PS2.
also this is a strange question in my opinion because the Saturn doing well wouldn't magically stop the Dreamcast from being a planned mess with huge overspending on its development and the development of projects like Shenmue. as far as I know Sega was not even THAT financially successful off of the Genesis, I get the impression the company never had an organized strategy
