Comment on What If History Had Taken a Different Path?
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 week agoCouldn’t agree more. Consoles not being upgradable is the reason why I exclusively play PC games.
It’s no surprise that the 32X failed; I don’t know what Sega was thinking when they decided to go back to a sound chip after everyone already got used to PCM audio with the Sega/Mega CD. I think if the Sega CD was delayed long enough to add a 3D accelerator, they could have canceled both the 32X and Saturn, dropped the upgraded Mega CD in 1994 for $249, and absolutely dominate the 5th gen before the PlayStation ever got a chance.

Well said. It also doesn’t help that for many, the 32X was viewed as being just as effective as buying a Saturn, due to its timing.
