Which crashout was worse, Sega or Xbox?

Definitely Sega. While DC was a solid system, the string of failures and disaster that preceded it were nothing short of catastrophic. Every system was a flop, and they couldn’t figure out for the life of them what to do with Sonic past the original trilogy.

Mega Drive/Genesis was not a flop and Sonic Adventure games were reviewed well and sold well for their era. Saturn did really well in Japan. Just not outside of it and Saturn Japanese library is one of the best console libraries of the decade.

I should also note SEGA arcades were putting out great games as well.

I meant to add “after the Genesis/Mega Drive everything was a wreck”…oops. I’m gonna edit my original post. Also… Sonic Adventure was on DC; prior to DC, it was a wreck— Knuckles Chaotics, Sonic Xtreme, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Blast, Sonic Labyrinth, etc. Sega was very confused during this period, whereas Microsoft is acting very intentionally, with a lot of financial success, and continues to pump out a very strong line up of releases (regardless of the fact that they had to acquire tons of 3rd party devs to pump up their output).
