Man, Sega Saturn is gonna be huge in Brazil one day.

TBH, it bombed pretty damn hard here. While Sega dominated before, the PS1 really crushed everything here. The N64 suffered with the price of cartridges. Also, piracy really helped the PS1, since pirated games would cost US$ 3. The PS2 kept this scenario going, while the next gen saw the 360 dominating also due to piracy. Online play impacted the use of pirated games and, in this gen, it's basically still dead.

I'm not sure if the PS4 or X1 are ahead here, since a lot of PS4s are imported and won't count towards official numbers. I feel that X1 is probably a bit ahead since it's consistently cheaper here by a decent margin, but it's pretty hard to say.

I feel sorry for Tectoy. Their partnership with Sega made them a pretty bleeding edge company. Since the Master System days, they translated a bunch of games and even created their own. Basically, Sega consoles were available day 1 here with official support, TV commercials, etc. Sega's downfall was also Tectoy's downfall. They went from premium console partners to make cheap DVD players and old consoles.

However, I'm a bit inclined to buy this new Mega Drive. I'll just wait for reviews.

I assumed so and it was a joke.

But it would fucking amazing if Sega released device with many Sega Saturn games built in. Maybe Brazil would even buy it!
