Throughout my days here at VGChartz...i always would encounter threads about Console A failed and Console B had more success than Console A....i came to a conclusion that Success is only granted when a console maker stays with the system as Nintendo has done with the Gamecube and N64..Sony PSP isnt a failure considering Sony hasnt abandoned the system..In my opinion..i only see consoles failures if a company abandons the conosle....Sega for example proved that they are a failure rated company due to them making add-ons in the Gensis days (32X, and something else i cant remember) and then the Saturn came out and they announced at the E3 that Saturn isnt the future...and with the Dreamcast they announced that they couldnt no longer support the console due to money issues....Sega proved that they failed not only themselves but to consumers....what Microsoft has done despite the losses they have token on the Xbox they still kept the system..showing that they really cared for the market and wanted to take Sony off the throne...please add on if possible...im working now so i couldnt finish...does anyone agree or disagree?? |
Isn't your argument a bit of a tautology? "A console only becomes a failure once the manufacturer gives up!" No way!
Sega made some huge mistakes in the mid-90s but please don't blame it for the death of the Dreamcast. They are largely responsible for making the Dreamcast's famous afterlife possible. And to compare it to the Xbox is totally unfair -- if Sega had had access to a Microsoft-sized bank account I assure you that things would have gone differently in 2000.
Please feel free -- nay, I encourage you -- to offer rebuttal.
