Why would he sabotage the Saturn?
>>12351115What?It's the other way around, the Saturn sabotaged SoA.Genesis was still going strong in America and they just had brought out the 32X- and then SoJ announces the American release of the Saturn.Sega America and Japan really were not friends.
SOA killed SEGA.
if mods IP wiped this guy I bet over half this board would disappear
>>12351134Kalinske posts on here?
>>12351131No one was buying that piece of shit 32xWestern devs couldn't even make good Genesis games.
The 32X crippled the Saturn for no real reason. They should've known that it was time to gradually retire the MD, or at the very least properly plan the roll out for the next gen. Their whole plan was "MD = big now, therefore it will always be that way". But even that aside, it's not like the Saturn is especially impressive hardware. The Saturn's hardware being underwhelming is why devs picked PS.
>>12351147The 32X didn't even get a CHANCE.SoA were ready to support the system, but after the Saturn was announced and people knew they just had to wait a little longer and could then get the full new console who would still buy the thing?Gaming hardware is sold on games, without interest there would be no more developers interested in supporting it.Imagine having bought it and now being broke and then two weeks later hearing about the Saturn - god DAMN you would have been pissed.
>>12351115a better question to ask is why SoJ took all the revenue SoA brought in via the genesis and dumped them into a bloated 2D-first console?>>12351134kek true
>>12351115it would have saved the Saturd
>>12351225Pretty sure SoJ used their own arcade money
>>12351132Greatest asset and worst enemy
>>12351134all they need is the infinity stones
>>12351115why would he?
Bitterness
>>12351131No, the 32X sabotaged the Saturn. SoA was worried that Saturn was too expensive so they offered 32X as a cheap alternative. Saturn was $400 while 32x was $160.
>>12354667Asset splitting is always a mistake.
>>12351185>>12354667A console full of American only games was doomed to fail, this is why the jaguar and 3do sucked balls too.At that the talent was only in Japan
>>12351131It's hilarious how Nips, and other Asians, will cut off their nose in order to spite their face. I lived in Japan for 3 years because my dad had to move a lot for work and I fucking hated it there.
>>12355160I spit on your asset
>>123556643DO has Japanese games, the price was ridiculous.
