Thank you.
I completely agree. Sega kicked things off with the Saturn like they had two left feet from the start. They had amazing fanfare with the media, stores, fans, developers until... they released it 6 months or so ahead of time. On top of that, they cut out many retailers like Walmart which only pushed them to support the PlayStation console.
Sega really REALLY messed up with that and never recovered. They should have continued with the "attitude" advertising from the Sega CD days - that whole "Welcome to the Next Level" at least the firm behind that. The PR firm handling the Saturn, if it was indeed outsourced, were doing them no favors with that "head to Saturn" B.S.
