Yeah. It's really was the beginning of the end. So many fans felt taken advantage of. I got the Saturn and it was great but the releases between them all were too close and too much.

The Saturn's terrible marketing campaign, 100 dollar higher price tag (than PS1) and inferior technology were the undoing of Sega, but you're right. They needed to slow down. Could have waited to take on Nintendo again with their N64 rather than the new guy PlayStation.
