sega was the company that had all the ideas...... but never implemented them right..... i mean look at Seag-CD...... that was one of the starters.... and it died....... and it hit a total ditch from Game Gear (sega's version of a game boy)

but still... they DID have the right ideas

Sega just had bad marketing but it is what brought good ideas to the market..

What wrong with the Xbox I like it... there are some great games out for it

A product that won't and can't ever make a profit (let alone the fact it is LOSSING millions of $$) I would a huge failur. Just because I live in Rochester does not mean I work for Kodak/Xerox.

The Sega Genesis was one of the first 16-bit consoles, and is still one of the best liked. That was NO failure for Sega.

FYI: I have a Sega-CD. The second (top-loading) model.

lol i played segacd it was kinda lame i thought but was something new. i also liked the 32X thingy for making it "32 Bits" that had some fun games, but just too many addons to deal with. and i reallyliked sega game gear, it was better start than gameboy and its black and white and no light. game gear just used too much battery juice, but i liked it over gameboy 1. Saturn is where i think sega went downhill. :/

the 32x system never really happened...... you only think it did.....

there were never any REAL 32bit games made for it. there were a few games that tried... i heard they all sucked as games anyways though.....

ive never used it, but ive read reviews about it

i never heard of power glove
i admit vb was failer (i still own one)
N64 was definatly not a failure
DD64 was gone before it had a chance

XBox is doing pretty well

sega i gotta go half and half
But time flows like a river...
And history repeats...
