The 5 Worst Marketing Failures in the History of Video Games

[Phantar]

Fact: Zoltor doesn't know the the history of the 32X, or Saturn.

I've come to accept it as one if nature's never changing constants: The Sun is hot, water's wet, gravity makes things fall down, and Zoltor doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Mind you, he'll probably manage to Put together a nonsensically rambling argument about how SoA is responsible for the Atlantic Ocean being wetter than the Pacific or whatever in response...

If Zoltor didn't exist then Sega-16 would not be here.

Say Zoltor, what do you do as a job?

"Fact", SOA didn't want to support the Saturn, that was the entire problem with Sega at the time, it was SOA who ignored the Saturn, and released that abomination of mankind knowmn as the 32x.

SOJ wanted to fully push the Saturn, it was SOA who didn't want to even bring it over at all(SOJ should've taken command of the SOA branch the very instance they voiced distaste for the Saturn, SOA marketing was horendous as is, see how worse it is when they are forced to release a product they don't want anything to do with).

"Fact", doesn't enforce an argument with truth.

Besides, how is this delusional response in any way relevant toward my statement? I've not addressed your view of Sega's history, I've side-stepped that bullshit entirely to point at you with offering a probable context for everything you post.

I think you're a fanboy. You're aggressive with proselytizing your own point of view which is most often rooted in adolescent absurdity. Nobody here agrees with you because you fail to make sense with your arguments. Everybody laughs at you. I ask of you to question why it is that you even post on these forums. You're not unwelcome here, but it's certainly wasting your own time if you turn everybody against you by refusing to discuss things rationally or explain yourself beyond breaking it down to insults and generalizations.

You consistently thrive on ridiculing others and deflecting debate by telling them what they're really thinking, implying they are deceitful and ignorant. This is an unacceptable approach to discourse in any context; when in reference to their own subjective opinion it's genuinely fucking retarded and defeats the purpose of discussion.

You have more entitlement issues with developers than most people passionate about gaming. This does not mean you are any more or less passionate about it than others, it means you likely can't cope with balancing your life in a more healthy and productive way. With each argument, you personify yourself as being developmentally challenged like an unstable teenager.

Despite what Japan tricks their developers/publishers into thinking, Japan is not the center of the gaming industry(If they weren't gonna release it outside of Japan, they shouldn't have developed it in the first place).

Also lol if a addon is being made for the Japan market, that's for a console that sold poorly, why would game developers bother developing games for it(News flash, many things sell better outside of Japan)?

like it or not. japan at least in the 90s was the market for niche products and games and money issues were less of a thing there. reason why saturn, 3do, neo geo aes, arcades and software(which is a lot more expensive in japan) was so succesful. so if something failed in japan it would 95% surly fail in the west.

and that was actually a good thing by soa. man in a few posts you say that stuff sells better in the usa then in japan and basically the reason soa didn't want to fully back saturn over genesis is BECAUSE stuff didn't sell better in the usa. japan was always at the forefront of gaming evolution while in the wets everyone was still playing and buying 16 bit games and systems. go ask nintendo and donkey kong
