Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 322661, member: 660650"] It may be the least known fact that Sega invested on far future way back before that wasn't really good idea to be "so ahead of time" when world wasn't ready for it. I mean to say Sega invested on modern technology and saw the future in PC market. That's why Sega Dreamcast supports Windows CE that doesn't mean anything to customers but only means something for developers to develop a Dreamcast game and its PC port and PC game to Dreamcast ports in a familiar computer environment to ease the development, and Dreamcast itself as a hardware eases this in another ways like VGA support that also benefited customers too. And also Sega also invested on quadrilateral-based rendering for PC market to make Saturn games that using quadrilateral-based rendering run ok on PC, which is why Nvidia's NV1 called Diamond Edge 3D released in 1995. You may now think "wow dude was it like first Nvidia GPU?" and I would say "it's not even a GPU", it's more like a piece of system that has whatever is necessary to play Saturn to PC ports on PC so it included a GPU, sound card and ports for Saturn gamepad and joystick port. However quadrilateral-based rendering is too much work because it add massive amount of geometrical BS to make such graphics exist therefore still to this day the standard way of rendering is based on triangles instead. So quadrilateral-based rendering had its benefit on "smoother graphics" that doesn't need anti-alising methods because graphics looked like what people may know from "vector visuals" but it made development of video games so hard which is why industry didn't see it as a graphical evolution, it was "unnecessary alien tech" so they downgraded the technology lol. However PS1 won the round despite all these Microsoft and Sega partnership and even when they combined their powers. Why?: - It was way harder to develop games for PS1. Dreamcast made it easier. - Dreamcast disc could store up to 1 GB data while PS1 could up to 700 MB. - Dreamcast was cheaper than PS1. - Dreamcast was stronger than PS1. Then why Dreamcast couldn't beat PS1 despite it was kinda like how Sega Genesis beat NES? The answer is Dreamcast's library couldn't beat PS1's library at all. Dreamcast released too late, by the time it was released it got old so combining this and lack of decent library and PS2 was on its way Sega was fucked. Relatively despite a decent tech Sega failed again, again and again but the way they were was still useful for Microsoft to learn from them and use them for XBOX!!!! What Sega had to do?: These stupid guys had to wait for PS2 to learn what kind of better console they should have release to beat Sony, Sega had to give up on "being ahead of the time" way before world could be ready for it. They learned their mistake from Saturn but their ass was too high above the cloud. They passed beyond space-era, they were lost in "dream-era" lol. But what PS1 did? They were realistic and they stayed within the realm of what is possible at the time which they played on decent library which is the most important aspect of a console. Genesis wasn't liked for it "more bits" or some shit, people liked it for its library which is not Sega didn't get for real and it was the reason why they failed, instead they were trying to sell a console with "bits" and "blast processing" BS lol.
