ST>         ...And Sega is not guilty of letting it's systems flounder? Have
 ST> we forgotten their last three projects so far; Sega CD, 32X, and now the
 ST> Saturn? I think their track record is proclaiming enough proof of their
 ST> ability, or willingness, to support their game machines. Shall we even
 ST> forget the Master System and Game Gear? Gamers today can probably tell
 ST> you what a NES and a Game Boy are, but most have no idea about the SMS
 ST> and Game Gear.
  The Saturn only lost steam in the last year or so.  Then, when people 
realized they could make games more easily on the PSX, they switched.  Sega's 
marketing and support had little to do with it; they put practically every 
port they could on the system!
  And as for gamers' memories, I think most of them DO remember the Master 
System and Game Gear.  I do!
 ST>         With Sega's record it looks like the Genesis was more of a fluke
 ST> than a show of Sega's ability to successfully market a game machine.
  I think it was more of a combination of good games (with the prerequisite 
"killer title," Sonic) and good performance than any flukes.  The same should 
happen with the Katana; it'll be the first (and only, for awhile) console 
which will let you play Model 3 arcade games at home, and it can handle 
almost anything else you can throw at it right now.  Messiah is only going to 
be on the PC and the Katana; not the PSX, not the N64.
