>Sega of America's push for the Game Gear, Sega CD
NONE of those were "pushed" by SoA. They were SoJ developed products that SoA just brought over because they figured they could capitalize on the Genesis' success. Game Gear was a modest, brief success for a hot minute but ultimately steadily got steamrolled by the Gameboy as people realized battery life mattered more than processing power. Sega CD was a failure but still had at least a couple of dozen worthwhile games. The initial price point for it was not encouraging.
>32X
Niggers keep forgetting that was the fault of both SoJ and SoA. Japan wanted a stop-gap release between Gen and Saturn, and it was America's idea to release an add-on to bridge that gap. There was actually a considerable amount of hype for the machine, it wasn't until mid 1995 that people saw how inefficient it was at doing both polygons and bitmap graphics that it wasn't worth putting games on it.
>Stollar
Everyone knows Bernie was a retard, you're not the first to point this out.
>Game Gear, Sega CD, Sega 32x
Wrong nigger
It's been confirmed Japan was solely responsible for killing off all non-Saturn products in 1996, despite the Genesis was still selling well and even the Master System was still selling in the UK and Brazil as a budget system.
>Sales records for the console, but not the games.
Nigger what? If the console sold well, then the launch games, especially the heavily marketed ones like Soul Calibur, SA, and NFL 2K, we're going to sell as well, would as well.
>with almost no third party games in the beginning, the console had too few games to fill the gap between major releases.
Fucking horseshit nigger, look at the release of games from late 1999 and all of 2000, Dreamcast had tons of support from the likes of Capcom, Ubisoft, Acclaim, Midway, Activision, Infogrames, Rockstar, Konami,etc. You're confusing it with the Saturn.
>Some people started refunding the Dreamcast en masse, while others simply waited to see if more games would be released.
Bullshit, that only happened when places like EB Games started offering discounts for people to trade in their systems for a discounted PS2 after Sega already decided to kill it.
>Sega of America is the culprit in thee Dreamcast's demise.
No they weren't, it was Sega in general. Japan was where they had the disastrous launch with NEC fucking up the processor shortage. Japan was where Nakayama suggested as early as 1997 to get out of the console business. Japan was where they were spending millions of yen on amusement parks. Moreover, Stollar was fired by the time of the system's launch, only thing he did for the Dreamcast in the US was slash the price to $200 and the 9-9-99 campaign. The system was doing fine in America until Japan decided to ax the whole thing worldwide.
For everything correct you posted you also posted a ton of shit. Research before you want to look like a retard.
