    Basicaly the only way a new system like the Saturn were to die, if no one 
buys any of it's profits here, and Japan. The name " Sega Saturn " by itself, 
should state a pretty impressive piece of work, nothing they make turns out 
unpopular. Not only that, but if a product does pretty bad here, if could do 
excellent in Japan, or vice versa.
    Believe it or not, the Saturn has excellent games, just because a roomful 
of people may disagree, doesn't mean the system should be doubted altogether. 
Im my opioion (my opioion will hardly make any difference in the world) the 
Playstation started out strong, but now is lacking in the new game 
epartment.
In fact it's turning out to be like the last of the SNES years, where it only 
depended on a certain game to make money where about 70% failed to; I.E. 
Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong Country 1&2, and Mario RPG. In fact the last 
game of quality was " Resident Evil," it made it's money like it was 
xspected
too. Honestly the Playstation isn't going to fail, but in time it will. I 
predict that it will probley lose favor when the N64 comes out, or at least 
about 6 months later. You see, time repeats itself:
    First came Genesis, then came the SNES, they fought it out and both did 
well. Next came the 3DO, it came in right when the 16bit systems were losing 
steam. Time goes by, and then the Playstation, and Saturn came out. They 
knocked both the 3DO, and Jaguar out of play. Next should be the N64, it's 
role will be to come in and take everyone by storm. It should slowly rise, 
nd
then knock the Playstation out of play, or at least the public's intrests. 
Then finally both these titans, Sega, and Nintendo, will battle once again 
until time repeats again.
    YOu see everyone has a opioion about certain things about everything, but 
until it happens we will have to waiit and see...
