if you ran.....(Atari, Sega, 3DO)

If it were me I would also not release the 32X. Second I would not release the saturn early, make it more 3D and 2D, have one CPU, make it easier to program for,

(Sorry for rudely cutting out the rest of your comment, I just wanted to reply on this bit)

Yes I'd definitely make the developer tools easier to use. From what I read the API's Sega gave developers were a real headache, whereas Sony's were easier.

I'd get rid of the SegaCD in addition to the 32X.

Regardless of how you may feel about it, it was a commercial success. It wasn't a huge commercial success, but it did sell pretty well.

If I was sega I'd have held onto the dreamcast a little longer and started some sort of awesome smear ad campaign against sony. Sega used to have so much personality to it. If anyone could have taken out sony over its blandness, it's sega.

But it crippled, in my opinion, Sega's future success. Can't expect success after success if the releases are so close together, especially for video games.

Losing Snatcher and Sonic CD isn't worth it. More colors could've helped though but it didn't take until the 32X to do that.

An earlier CD console would have been better. I think Sony has this right - the PS2 still got releases, giving them a bit extra money from those who couldn't afford a new console, but at the same time giving others something new. Imagine if we would have held off on the 32X and SegaCD and release the Saturn just a little bit earlier. Dual releases for the games that can handle them, and then Saturn-only games for those types of systems. PS1? What PS1? Oh, sure, once the PS1 finally comes out, the consumers aren't disillusioned by Sega so that the Dreamcast would be a proper success.

If I ran sega I wouln't have hired this guy!


He tried to do what was best for us and prevented some games from reaching our shores. He wasnt a total fuck-up, but he didnt do anything to help the fanbase.

There's an old thread here about him too and a youtube vid that talks more about him.

Do explain!
