The Mother Fucker 26 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 XBOX ONE like It's SATURN ancestor was meant to compete head on with it's SONY rival, but instead the console got thumped hard and is only seemly alive primarily in its home country. When the original PlayStation destroyed Saturn from the time of it's price announcement to the interview press in '97 from then Sega of America President Bernie Stoler that Saturn wasn't the companies future, the Saturn's games practically dwindled hard and nearly dried up by 1998. Games were only getting produced for Saturn in Japan for the remainder of it's life. Doesn't this parallel much with the Xbox One, the console got thumped by the PlayStation 4 and is largely surviving mainly in it's home country America. Change my mind on this.

TLHBO 2,162 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Genesis was good, 360 was not. Saturn had games, Xflop Done does not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 And if the next Xbox doesn't show any improvement within the first 18 months of its launch, we're going to be seeing Microsoft make the same announcement Sega did back in 2001. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,086 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think people in general underestimate its reach globally, it's no PlayStation 4 but I highly doubt the hyperbolic narrative from most. The shit is on track for 50 million, the Sega Saturn didn't even sell 10 million. While the Saturn had a decent life in Japan it had almost zero localization of those games which is something the Xbox One doesn't share. It's apples to oranges.

kaz 2,439 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 thats like saying xbox is doing good because it's still in business, while other platforms are praised for their games. xbox is bought by accident by clueless parents in europe other than that there are piles of special offers nobody wants Quote Link to post Share on other sites
