Forums - Gaming - Did Sega pull the plug on the DC too early?

jonboy101 on 10 December 2007

Well look at Sega's sales. In 95 and 96 they ran a very close second to Nintendo in software, and were neck and neck with Sony in hardware. Thats an enviable place to be. Then in 97 they announced that Saturn wasn't their future, dumped alot of projects or ported them to DC and let the Saturn fend for itself, with just a couple of big name titles coming out in 97 or 98 (Sakura 2 and Shining Foce 3 are about it), with obvious relsults. They drop to a fraction of their former sales with both hard and software, and piss off the Japanese, who then snub the Dreamcast.

Yeah, they didn't pull the plug on the DREAMCAST too early, they pulled the plug on the SATURN too early. Just like they launched the Saturn too early... Come to think of it Sega kind of had a problem with timing.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
