It's crazy how fast this thing crashed and burned. And it's just got me thinking, it's kind of nuts how nearly EVERYTHING around this time was failing. You had Sega of America pushing the 32X, there were these new consoles like the 3DO and the Atari Jaguar, and then even the Sega Saturn couldn't catch a break in America. Nintendo's virtual boy was a flop and the N64 kept getting delayed further and further. The fact that the Sony PlayStation seemed to catch on during this time actually seems like an anomaly when you look at everything else around it.
