This was there down fall bc they couldn't keep quality up with one system,i know i grew up in this era .
. The Playstations success is directly on the name Playstation name which they were smart not to change it since it was introduced as was XBOX both imbeded in any gamers head when it comes to video games .. Had Sega been patient and made a 32 bit Genesis , im sure they would still be in the console wars,at least in some form.

After the Megadrive/Genisis they had crappy software, poor strategy, poor timing and pissed a lot of game developers off that went elsewhere or refused to develop for SEGA.

ps1 was very easy to program for, so developers liked it more. business wise sega did a lot of dumb things like release the 32x just after saturn and pushed internet gaming on saturn which was way ahead of its time and not ready.
dreamcast was a really good console and was sharper and had better anti aliasing than ps2 but it was too late by then.

My parents found one of mine and my brothers old consoles up in the loft not so long back. A Panansonic 3DO.
I remember it being not too bad back in the day, but they stopped making games for it because it wasn't too popular i seem to remember.
Ended up getting a PS One a few years later.
