Why did Sega fail to replicate the succes of the Genesis when the Saturn and Dreamcast have much better libraries?
>>
because you touch yourself at night
>>
>>12857541
Because the Saturn and Dreamcast werenโ€™t competing against the Genesis, they were competing against the PS1 and PS2
>>
>>12857541
Saturn being $399 didn't help matters. The PS1 ended up being the popular alternative.

As for Dreamcast, piracy killed it.
>>
Piracy.
>>
>>12857597
The Dreamcast's fate was decided before the PS2 even hit store shelves.

>As for Dreamcast, piracy killed it
Is that what your favourite Jewtuber told you, zoomer retard? Piracy had fuck all to do with the Dreamcast's death. They'd have sold more units had piracy been more widespread during its actual lifespan.

Genesis is kino.

Seethe harder

>>12857541
all of the consoles were equally successful, the only difference is America has triple the population of Japan. So basically all 3 sold 10 million per 110 million people
>>
>>12857541
nobody outside of japan gave a shit about arcade ports
>>
>>12857713
nobody outside of america gave a shit about mascot platformers and american niggerball. that's why megadrive didnt do snes or ps1 numbers
>>
>>12857727
the snes only outsold the genesis in japan

This post is extremely low quality

Piracy Killed The Dreamcast. Stay triggered piratefag.
>>
>>12857779
the dreamcast had a relatively high attach rate. this narrative is objectively false.
>>
>>12857541
Sega was falling apart at the seams even during the genesis days. They were hemorrhaging cash because their leadership was inept. They would over-order fucking everything and had warehouses full of dead inventory. They would push shitty add-ons for no other reason than to spite the japanese side of the company and discourage the sale of their own in development product in the saturn. They burned important bridges with developers, retailers, and even with those involve in resource acquisition.
By the time the saturn came out they were already on their last legs.
When the dreamcast came out they were so far behind there was no chance at recovery.
The only reason the company still exists is because they sucked off some billionaire who paid off their debts and then fucking died conveniently after saying sega didn't have to pay him back.
>>
>>12857541
The Genesis arrived at exactly the right time to be successfully,a full two years before the SNES when it's only real competition was the aging NES. The TurboGrafx 16 was a major flop which gave Sega a good opportunity to establish a foothold
>>
>>12857727
>nobody outside of america
The Mega Drive outsold the SNES in France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK

>muh attach rate
Didn't stop pirates from killing the Dreamcast effectively. Making Sega bleed money since June of 2000.

>>12857823
Shouldn't you be in your dedicated schizo thread?
>>
>>12857823
is this a schizo or something? you're just posting retard gibberish
>>
>>12857831
>>12857835
>schizo
Samefagging detected.

You can't stand the idea of someone who pushes back against you. Someone who boldly claims that PIRACY KILLED THE DREAMCAST! Which triggers you into a seething shoot.
>>
>>12857838
you don't believe anything you're saying you just want attention
