One of the consoles I really wanna get some day. They totally shafted themselves by not putting more Sonic games on it.

That’s because Sega of Japan was jealous of Sega of America making Sonic the Hedgehog popular worldwide through America, so they went and developed the Saturn independently of them and the two companies got mixed up.

That was how Sega stopped making hardware and became another third-party publisher.
