@admin@detroitriotcity.com @Broken_gamer@retro-gaiden.com people think the console wars was this long running competition when in reality sega was only a credible threat to nintendo for 1 gen at most and then was solidly in 2nd place for the rest
Yeah, the saturn was sega's Waterloo and they never recovered from that blunder
Oddly, it was outselling the n64 in japan probably due to the segata sanshiro ad campaign

@Vidmastereon@detroitriotcity.com @admin@detroitriotcity.com @Broken_gamer The 90s Sega vs Nintendo started out with Sega providing a good challenge, before the SNES did the slow and steady build up and won. The real console wars were in the 00s when Sony, Nintendo, XBOX and PC were all competing in vastly different ways to eventually make entirely different niches of gamers. The niches by XBOX are basically dead though, while Sony's is having sustainability issues. PC is way ahead now and Nintendo is its own thing
