No i just like to deal with facts .The Mega CD hardly sold well in Japan, in UK the Mega CD had less than 3% of software charts and in the USA it did well but wasn't massive and that was reflected not in 3rd party support and games sales, but also from SEGA them self's

Barone still being an asshole. Why am I not surprised?

Does anybody even have final numbers on the Sega CD sales? Was it just a few million or did it sell more than that?

I'm not surprised either:

Your reason is still a shitty one to not buy a game. It's very loserish.

Stop being a whiny bitch.

You're a crybaby, Sci-Fi.

Now you're just making yourself look foolish with an irrelevant point.

Fuck you, too.

You are so useless, you can't even put up any effort to provide evidence.

Fuck you. I'm not that hateful.

Meh. Another Jackson review. Saw it on GameFAQS. Copy and pasted. Not much effort put into the review. I'll take NBA Jam for the Game Gear and do a review for it.

It's just SciFi being ignorant as usual regarding sports games.

If you're gonna be an asshole every time I respond, don't reply. If you can explain your reasoning, I'll take you seriously.

It's not about dedication, Thief. Quit with the asshole attitude you have towards me or anyone that doesn't share your opinion.

I really don't know what Jackson's whining about. It's far from awful, but not great either.

Difficult and unfair, my ass, Jackson.

I hate having to repeat myself for Jackson again, but here goes. You put in a half assed effort in the reviews, both here and on GameFAQS.

Stalk much, Barone? Sega CD was not hugely successful. It has titles, but it was not the hit Sega hoped for.

Sega CD was not hugely successful.

I never said it was "hugely" successful. But you'd know that if you're here to discuss things rather than to insult long term members at will.

You said it was successful, regardless of you not saying hugely. It wasn't. Maybe instead of using emoji's and editing people's posts, you can contribute.

[Gogogadget]

And you're wrong

Prove it then.

Show me sales figures.

It sold 2.24 million units according to Famitsu. There's a thread on Sega-16 that lists console sales.

Thank you. Some people a long time ago (not on this site) said six million systems were sold.

The Wikipedia article has a pretty funny note about Sega CD for North America. Japan wouldn't send them a working unit in 1991. Those jackasses in Japan should of had their asses kicked. They pretty much screwed over their biggest market, because of selfish pride.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_CD

Up until the middle of 1991, Sega of America had been kept largely uninformed of the details of the project, without a functioning unit to test (although Sega of America was provided with preliminary technical documents earlier in the year).[7] According to former Sega of America executive producer Michael Latham, "When you work at a multinational company, there are things that go well and there are things that don't. They didn't want to send us working Sega CD units. They wanted to send us dummies and not send us the working CD units until the last minute because they were concerned about what we would do with it and if it would leak out.

You sure that's true? Or just a Tommy K tall tale.

Sega's Japan division was never really happy about how big the American division was doing.

Barone contributes to this forum, you on the other hand generally insults other members and shit posts all over this place. Not a thread goes by without you taking a big stinking shit all over it. I wish your internet provider would cut your connection so you'd STFU.

That was per SOA's Executive Producer. I've added the quote.

Shellfish?!

Stupid Auto-Correct.
