I still have all my Sega Consoles and enjoyed the games that were available for the Dreamcast.

It's simple. Two of their consoles in a row tanked badly, being released only shortly before a PS each. Rather than take a bankrupting blow they decided to keep doing only what has actually been making them money.

Oh yeh, that 32x thing. I saw that at an expo once. Never saw it again =]

Did Sony ever get around to using "PlayStation - runs rings around Saturn"? :P

I think they did that in not so many words by making shops around my area have demo boxes that were showing Daytona and Ridge Racer ;] Or maybe the shops wanted to kill off the Saturn <shrugs>
