>>12258067Atari Corporation actually sued Sega for patent infringement around that time and won, forcing them to pay a lot of money to Atari. That allowed Jack Tramiel and his sons to retire in comfort, despite previously driving the Jag off the cliff.
>>12258067which is funny, since it fuckin choked and died all on its own so easily
>>12258223holy shit is it really that serious? we're talking about fucking game consoles here
>>12258067was confirmed by jap devs to be a lie, never trust kalinsky
>>12259586The Jaguar turned out to be a paper tiger (lol), it was utterly crippled just before launch while trying to squeeze it down to make the $99 pricetag. In particular removing all the cache ram created a massive performance bottleneck. If that bad move hadn't been made, it would have been a far more powerful machine, and yes, despite what >>12259757 said, the whole industry was watching the thing closely. The prerelease machine was stronger than anything anyone else had ready at the time, and Atari still had a lot of brand name recognition left.
>>12260370ultimately, the worst move was not having any good games. the Jaguar's library is abysmal.>The prerelease machine was stronger than anything anyone else had ready at the timeah, but technology was advancing so fast, those who waited even just a little longer had access to better components. it actually turned being first into a detriment, as SEGA discovered over its final two generations.
>>12260402Part of the lack of games was also caused by the last minute changes, as developers who had been working on prototypes discovered their games suffered a terrible performance drop or even crashes on the final release version of the Jaguar, forcing them to push back their releases to rework the games.
>>12259757>>12260370Wasn't the 32X a direct result of Sega panicking when they saw the Jag?
>>12260370 >In particular removing all the cache ram created a massive performance bottleneck. Also, the idea of running game code directly through the sound and video chips (bypassing the underpowered 68k which was supposed to only handle I/O), would be iffy even at best of times. With that last-minute downgrade, it was all but unavoidable that shit would hit the fan.
>>12260450>iffyThe Amiga did it, and it worked beautifully.
