Sega and it isn't even close. Sega went from amazing system to Sega cd which was hot garbage with barely any games.. but that wasnt enough, they out did themselves with the 32x which had even a more limited selection.

Sega went from amazing to absolute garbage faster than any company I've seen before.

DC was good, but far too late to redeem themselves.

Sega CD was amazing if you knew what games to get. 

Sonic CD
Lunar
Lunar 2
Snatcher
Robo Aleste
Battlecorps
Final Fight CD
Silpheed
Rise of Dragon
Dark Wizard
Samurai Shodown
Popful Mail
Dungeon Explorer
Panic
Soulstar
Thunderhawk
Lords of Thunder
Vay
Bariarm
Terminator
Flashback
Heart of the Alien
Dungeon Explorer (Third game in the series, but renamed to #1 for some reason. Not a port of the original on PCE.)
Ecco 
Ecco 2
Kei Flying Squadron
Shining Force CD

32x however was definitely junk. 

That seems like a gross exaggeration.  The Sega CD was ok at best.  Bear in mind it required a $200 Genesis and then another $300 for the add-on, I could be a bit off on my numbers.  But given the price it was meh.

Edit

And the graphical jump was meh at best for both the CD and 32x.  Then the Saturn was $100 more than ps1, and the ps1 had a better lineup.

Sega fell hard and fast from grace.  It was both epic and tragic.  

Sega wins this in a land slide, just because their decline happened in a few years, while MS's decline was more long term.  The Saturn was meh and expensive.  Niche titles doesn't make a system great, it makes it ok at best.
