Oh AlteredBeast what were you doing to your PSONE i have owned mine for 4 years and it works perfectly, and the saturn sucked man, yeah its so much better than the PSONE, it sold so many more consoles and the games looked so much better wait NO, genesis was the last good sega console, dreamcast was alright not good or great
Remember, just because a system sells more doesn\'t mean it is great. I mean, by all means the Neo-Geo was a great system, that didn\'t sell alot.
The Saturn problems was.
1: US suprise launch.
2: Price ($400, I believe).
3: Complicated design--which by the way, the PS2 sort of took after.
4:A bad taste left in some gamers mouths, after the Sega Cd / 32x fiasco.
Personally, I thought the Saturn was an excellent system and have plenty of great memories. I also enjoyed my Psone--err, my many Psone\'s...
The Saturn was the 2D powerhouse of the 32bit era. While Sony fans\' couldn\'t enjoy Capcom\'s "VS" series to the fullest extent, Saturn owners was. Not to mention the Japanese Saturn controller was sent from heaven.
By the way, the Dreamcast was an excellent system that sadly died too soon. When the DC came out, I bought 5 games and played them constantly, for months. When the Ps2 came out, I bought 6 games and barely played them at all. The DC truly ushed in a new era of gaming, with titles like Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur. I mean, don\'t you find it a tad bit funny that alot of the bigger DC titles are goin\' to the PS2 and everyone is excited? It is because the DC was home to some of the most excellent games. And if Sega didn\'t make quality systems and games, then why is it such a big deal that they are a third party now?
Moving on..
I was one of the people who was excited with the N64 when it was known as "Project Reality", then the Ultra64, and then finally, after many delays, the Nintendo 64. I got one on launch day, after waiting out in the cold and had Mario64. After that, I didn\'t get to enjoy it much. Only a few games interested me, games like Zelda. I never liked the N64 controller either. So, sadly I didn\'t really care for my N64. But, with the GameCube I do see a certain restored faith in Nintendo.
On a side note: After see\'in all the complaints of the original PS breaking down and now Ps2 problems, it doesn\'t seem like Sony makes their systems to last. My SNES I actually laid on a furnance and melted the system , so that it was massively deformed and it worked perfect, until I gave it away to one of my little cousins (I bought another). I\'ve dropped my Saturn, spilled stuff on my Genesis, and both have worked perfect.
Weird.
