# if you hadn't noticed, Sega are in dire need of selling out

# It's their fault for making the Saturn
what were you thinking, Sega?!

# but the Saturn was more powerful than the Playstation
they just never marketed as well as Sony did their toy

so whose fault was it really?

# Actually as I recall it the playstation had the technological edge
due to the fact the Saturn was in part salvaged from the 32X. I was a saturn owner and loved the thing but I can appreciate how Sega ballsed up, especially with the european controllers.

# for polygons maybe
but for sprite pushing power, the Saturn shits on the PS from a great height

hence the better beat em-ups, shooters, and RPGs that appeared on the saturn
some of the best ever created in fact

# That much I'll gladly agree to
though it could have used a port of SFEX+a

# True
They've all but destroyed the Sonic franchise, lost their console department, aren't doing a great job with Worms...

# I will never play Sonic on my gameboy.
Gameboy is not Game Gear. Fact.

# they're a lot like EA now
a lot of turds, but still some great games
i believe they ruined sonic long before the death of their hardware

the Arcade market is also suffering badly of late
another Area where Sega made most of their cash

# Sad but true.
I wonder if we're seeing the end of the famous four blue letters that meant so much to gamers in the early 90s?

# but then, that's like Atari
Atari isn't Atari anymore
a French company just bought the rights to the name
as it could be used to attract gamers of a retro nature

didn't really work though when all their releases
turned out to be tosh

# *Nods*
Though I believe UT3 will carry the Atari name, though everyone knows that every beautfully rendered poly in that flawlessly optimised engine is an EPIC product anyway.
