er, the genesis wasn't a failure. :slap:
and the DC was an awesome system. definitely underrated. and yes, a failure..
two of the things that screwed sega, in my opinion, were bad timing and bad marketing. but their systems were always ahead of the game. the genesis came out almost a full year ahead of the SNES. then there was the game gear vs. the game boy.. not to mention how long the dreamcast was out before the PS2, GC, and XBox came out.
ah well, they're sticking to arcades now, which is fine. their arcade games are better than most.
