There is one key difference between the Saturn and the Xbox One. The Saturn actually was a HUGE success in Japan for its first few years. It was the highest selling console there between 1994 and 1997, when a little indie game you may or may have not heard of tipped the scale towards Sony (something with a 7? Can't remember it right now). The Xbox One, in the other hand, was successful... Nowhere.
@@therealjaystone2344 Sega killed the Saturn with the price. If it was the other way around then the Saturn would've succeded + Saturn had better arcade ports than the PS1.

At the least the Saturn and Dreamcast had more to offer during their lifetime than the Xbox Series. people are still interested in the Old Sega Consoles decades after they left the Console business, i don't see that happening with the Xbox after the 360.
So, so, so very true. The Saturn is probably still my all time favourite system... Dreamcast and Mega Drive very close second and third. For me those three Sega systems are the holy trinity of gaming consoles.
@@DOGEELLL True. it's funny that because gaming is a lot more mainstream than in the 90's or early 2000's means that it's harder for a company like Microsoft have a complete failure. the Xbox Series has sold 20 million consoles so far dispite making so many mistakes... i was once an Xbox Fanboy back on the 360 days, but boy do i feel bad for the fanboys of this brand nowadays.
I think SEGA at least seemed like they were trying to achieve something, even with the failure of the Dreamcast they continued to release incredible and unique titles for it, while Xbox doesn't seem to be trying anything other than selling the game pass...
Xbox seems comparable to Sega until you realise that even the Original XBox lost Microsoft $5 billion, so the original Xbox lost more money than the Saturn and Dreamcast combined and as a first console would've knocked any other company out of the console market for good, Microsoft just had the money to swallow the losses & price dump the console to gain market share The Saturn was $100 too expensive because Sega misjudged the direction of the market and ended up with a rushed, unwieldy hardware design, the Xbox One on the other hand was $100 too expensive because Microsoft decided they wanted to force everyone to buy a camera with every console! These two things are not the same :D Sega never tried to destroy the second hand market either! The sad fact of the matter is that Microsoft's level of incompetence has been incomparable, its a level of incompetence never seen before in the market!

Even the Saturn had more interesting exclusives than the Xbox One despite Sega royally screwing up with that console.
the Saturn actually even outsold the N64 in Japan I think the main issue with it was that it barely existed outside Japan, most games simply didn't get released elsewhere even when their PS1 versions did (Symphony of the Night, Grandia and Lunar Silver Star come to mind)

Less so 2D gaming, which is why I lost interest in Sony back then.
What Microsoft really REALLY does not understand is with the screen recorder and leaving the games market it REALLY opens them up to be userped by Linux and apple, linux is at 2% for the games market, this is no where near good for them, once it hits 10% things will really snow ball as linux will HAVE A USER BASE and with the exasperation on the .exe extension it will be a done deal
im fairly certain that Series X is the last console ill play, im getting older in mid 30s and the console scene as whole is a complete shitshow and is full of predatory product practices and live service games that are just not made for anyone with attention span of more than 10 seconds, there are hardly any "wow" games like i remember just 10-15 years from now which really isnt that long ago
Haven't really bothered to buy a console in forever now. I haven't bothered paying attention to AAA titles and ended up just returning to monke and replaying older games again or finding older games to play. Its been harder to get into newer games. Also this video appeared on my recommended, this video is fucking great funny as hell, liked and subscribed.
PC has a ton of storefronts and hybrid portables now. You could get lost playing demos while waiting for games like antonblast to release (no console demo sadly). Mobile is a bit of a stagger, similar to VR but you'll find something eventually; I liked slice & dice and demeo, though PSVR2 is not supported well once meta quest 3 (backwards compatibility but needs accessories) and overpriced apple vision pro got released. It does have something nice maybe quarterly imo. There's also a lot of censorship going on too, which PC helps with mature storefronts, and xbox game pass (which yeah support xbox if they got something you like that way, or if they add a PC game to count in xbox library).
Yeah... i have been thinking the same myself for a while now with gaming. So glad i decided to collect for Sega Saturn and Dreamcast all those years ago. Just look at what those two "failed" systems had and the legacy they left for gamers. And there were only on the market for about two years each. Look at the games on the the Saturn and Dreamcast... and then look at what we have gotten with the PS5 and Xbox Series... modern gaming (apart from Nintendo and indies) is boring. The Japanese Saturn market is insane, the amount of quality it had that never made it out of the country. I call the Saturn, 'The Aladdin's Cave of Gaming Systems'.
@@MrVariantnintendo has more than 2 IPs lmao Their IPs destroy modern xbox and sony combined by far Sony make movies now xbox have nothing Its just sad that nintendo refuse to upgrade the specs they could easily do so
Good video, and accurate. the only real difference is that Xbox is gonna attempt a 5th console, I'm pretty sure. but I doubt Xbox will continue after the 5th console failure, my prediction is that they're gonna to try to put all their baskets on that, buy all companies they can, to try to make that console sucessful, than fail, and than they'll get out of the console market and go third party.
Sony also repeated it, because now it shares its games with PC players. compare PS5 with other PS. In fact, PS Vita had more exlusives (not box fan, PC player)
All these companies really forgetting that games matter the most, all whiling putting all their eggs (their dev teams) into one basket (“epic AAA blockbusters” that take forever to make, with no interesting AAs in between) This so the main killer here For reference, The Switch makes Nintendo rich despite how weak and outdated the Switch is
Interesting how everyone is saying Xbox is going the way of Sega because of their mistakes, yet Sony makes the biggest mistakes but everyone turns a blind eye.

Well it kind of was - Dreamcast was developed in conjunction with Microsoft (It even proudly declared it ran Windows CE on the casing) and when it came time to make the Xbox controller, Microsoft pretty blatantly copied the Dreamcast controller, right down to the button scheme (with added shoulder bumpers to match button count with Sony).
Yea my series X is basically the decoration next to my TV that almost never gets used. I think I played Morrowind a orginal xbox game on it more than anything this generation
Ironic how I'm trying to get a region unlocked 360, & will get a series X when it stops releasing games (assuming there's anything worthwhile across the xbox one & series X)
What's funny is that Sega even had this deal with Xbox where multiple Dreamcast IPs would come to the system (and the Xbox almost got Dreamcast backwards compatibility too, until the two companies couldn't agree on which of them would run the online service for DC games played on the new system).
I guess this means that Halo will end up going the Sonic route. Being the one exclusive franchise the console is synonymous with, eventually going multiplatform and that becoming the norm in a decade. Can't wait for Halo 5 DX and Halo Infinite: Battle on the Switch 2
My biggest problem with the Xbox1 was that it required me to sign in every time I tried getting on after my brother played. And being a dumb kid, I couldn’t remember passwords all that well.
You completely left out the HD DVD drive peripheral for the 360 in the equation when they were trying to compete with Blu-ray it was basically their equivalent of the Sega CD
The only reason Id buy a Saturn these days is for 2 games... Snatcher (a Hideo Kojima game, go check it out), and Radiant Silvergun (aka the prequel to Ikaruga, which came out on Dreamcast, GC originally).
The whole Xbox situation reminds me of the story of Atari and how gaming almost died, I think I watched a few videos about it long time ago and I wonder if gaming industry is going to be able to survive this fallout again :)
Gaming was in its infancy when Atari collapsed and almost took the industry with it. If Xbox goes, gaming will still be around as there are plenty of alternatives. Gaming has really come a long way despite the problems that modern gaming faces today.
The Sega/Xbox comparison makes sense, and it's definitely a good one. Unfortunately for Xbox fans, Microsoft doesn't have to care about being in the console biz anymore. They're making stupid money with their new cash cow: OpenAI. At the end of the day, Microsoft continues to be a tech juggernaut and this L means nothing to a company worth over $3 trillion. But it's sad for those of us in which Xbox at some point held a special place in their hearts. The Xbox brand might be soulless these days, but there were people involved in it and around it over the years who put their passion into it. You could see it and feel it. The destruction of that passion is what I believe people are actually disappointed over--not Xbox's self-destruction as a brand.
Honestly it feels like karmic justice. Microsoft rode the waves of the Dreamcast's failure, made an x86 Dreamcast to get their feet wet, then made a Super Dreamcast that rocked the industry only to end up failing like Sega.
Most companies do this. Mostly coz they won’t have a long term vision, idea on how to make games but somehow incharge of people who are supposed to make games.
Technically sega should have no mention because sega didn't make any mistakes people just didn't like sega anymore waiting for the next sonic game and is why the dreamcast didn't sell well mostly because of this time *communities* where being created
To be fair Sony themselves did try to extend the lifespan of the PS2 with an addon called the eyetoy, just like the kinect is was awful, the difference is that Sony stopped making them once they realised that nobody wanted it whereas Microsoft just kept making kinects with there even being an updated version of it for the Xbox one which surprisingly fixed the tracking and identification issues the original had but nobody wanted it and there were no games for it so it sold badly anyway.
Finally, someone else sees the vision of "the kinect was just sega cd for xbox"
Atleast the Sega CD has some good games
@BritVR2022 Kinekt had Sonic Free Riders. Ended up being the thing that held the game back so bad.

What Microsoft really REALLY does not understand is with the screen recorder and leaving the games market it REALLY opens them up to be userped by Linux and apple, linux is at 2% for the games market, this is no where near good for them, once it hits 10% things will really snow ball as linux will HAVE A USER BASE and with the exasperation on the .exe extension it will be a done deal
The difference between Sega and Microsoft is that Microsoft has so much money. That it doesn't need to change their ways.
This is some solid editing and commentary, i feel like subscribing rn, im looking forward for the next video!
im fairly certain that Series X is the last console ill play, im getting older in mid 30s and the console scene as whole is a complete shitshow and is full of predatory product practices and live service games that are just not made for anyone with attention span of more than 10 seconds, there are hardly any "wow" games like i remember just 10-15 years from now which really isnt that long ago
Haven't really bothered to buy a console in forever now. I haven't bothered paying attention to AAA titles and ended up just returning to monke and replaying older games again or finding older games to play. Its been harder to get into newer games. Also this video appeared on my recommended, this video is fucking great funny as hell, liked and subscribed.
May I recommend Skies of Arcadia(Legends), emulate it if you can, of course.
PC has a ton of storefronts and hybrid portables now. You could get lost playing demos while waiting for games like antonblast to release (no console demo sadly). Mobile is a bit of a stagger, similar to VR but you'll find something eventually; I liked slice & dice and demeo, though PSVR2 is not supported well once meta quest 3 (backwards compatibility but needs accessories) and overpriced apple vision pro got released. It does have something nice maybe quarterly imo.
There's also a lot of censorship going on too, which PC helps with mature storefronts, and xbox game pass (which yeah support xbox if they got something you like that way, or if they add a PC game to count in xbox library).
Yeah... i have been thinking the same myself for a while now with gaming. So glad i decided to collect for Sega Saturn and Dreamcast all those years ago. Just look at what those two "failed" systems had and the legacy they left for gamers. And there were only on the market for about two years each. Look at the games on the the Saturn and Dreamcast... and then look at what we have gotten with the PS5 and Xbox Series... modern gaming (apart from Nintendo and indies) is boring. The Japanese Saturn market is insane, the amount of quality it had that never made it out of the country. I call the Saturn, 'The Aladdin's Cave of Gaming Systems'.
@leecroft7311 indies yes lol nintendo more mario and buggy pokemon 😄
@@MrVariantnintendo has more than 2 IPs lmao
Their IPs destroy modern xbox and sony combined by far
Sony make movies now xbox have nothing
Its just sad that nintendo refuse to upgrade the specs they could easily do so
Good video, and accurate. the only real difference is that Xbox is gonna attempt a 5th console, I'm pretty sure. but I doubt Xbox will continue after the 5th console failure, my prediction is that they're gonna to try to put all their baskets on that, buy all companies they can, to try to make that console sucessful, than fail, and than they'll get out of the console market and go third party.
They're closing studios right now and putting games out on other systems
I subscribed for this video and i hope i stay for another one, this is really good.
"But Nintendo had Phalanx! What now?.... AMALGAMATE"
This is hilarious, thanks
Difference is people actually like the dreamcast and it has more games in its like 2 years of existing
Pretty good job on the minimalist editing and focus on having charisma.
Done in a style very much like internet historian... very good and nostalgic
At least the Dreamcast HAD A MODEM, that was wayyy ahead of it's time. The Xbox Series X WENT BACK IN TIME in terms of "new features".
Sony also repeated it, because now it shares its games with PC players. compare PS5 with other PS. In fact, PS Vita had more exlusives (not box fan, PC player)
As a Playstation fan, you're completely right, I haven't bought a PS5, and probably won't.
I just doubled down on my PC/Steam Deck.
All these companies really forgetting that games matter the most, all whiling putting all their eggs (their dev teams) into one basket (“epic AAA blockbusters” that take forever to make, with no interesting AAs in between)
This so the main killer here
For reference, The Switch makes Nintendo rich despite how weak and outdated the Switch is
This video is like a Fever Dream and honestly I like it a lot because of it.
Interesting how everyone is saying Xbox is going the way of Sega because of their mistakes, yet Sony makes the biggest mistakes but everyone turns a blind eye.
Because it’s more fun to make fun of them in the eyes of the people
This is a vid about xbox
@@vanquese8947 It's still a valid criticism.
Care to name any of those mistakes?
@@n1ghtwing445 Shutting down more studios than Microsoft, raising the price of their games, censorship, lying not coming out with first party games until 2025.
Makes you think that if Xbox goes SEGA then who will fill the power vacuum? I love nintendo but they have their own niche, so who will be Sony's big competition next?
Consoles as a concept are kind of dead - other than the switch they are just less good PCs
Maybe Valve or Epic?
Valve probably will release a steam machine 2 soon enough, that will catapult into a increase of living room pcs
@@trevor_mounts_musicconsoles would be a “dead concept” if it weren’t for the fact that hundreds of millions of people still play them. And most people don’t want to spend a thousand dollars and up on a gaming pc When you can just pay 300-500 dollars to get a very similar experience.
Imagine if Valve releases a competent Steam Machine that takes the software of the Deck and puts it in a living room console form factor. I would love to see that.
I don't think I ever laughed so damn hard, yet was so thoroughly educated at the same time🤣🤣🤣
Love the Valua theme from Skies of Arcadia in the background.
I get your point with comparing the Shrek Series to consoles, however I genuinely enjoy Shrek the third and I don't think its the worst thing ever. Which ironically is another good comparison between the Shrek series and consoles
Yo how do you only have 23 subs, this vid is pretty decently well made.
Thank You, you could help by sharing it if you want.
Insane talent, glad you're blowing up
One thing i could say is that the audio mixing is questionable at points, just up your mic volume or lower the music and this video will reach 10/10 status, keep it up!
Oh yeah, I'm so happy for my old nintendo stuff and ps2/4.
See? At the end of the Day, Microsoft is going to end up having an another SEGA-like situation in the future if they didn't act very quickly.
Xbox actually has more fans than PlayStation
@@slapshotjack9806proof? im genuinely curious
@@slapshotjack9806(extremely loud incorrect buzzer)
@@nxx99 boi is just mad that I’m right
@@slapshotjack9806 It's just the idiots who show themselves. PlayStation fans are everywhere, they don't always make it obvious.
Forget the games industry, that opening quote applies to humanity in general
i've always said Sega and Microsoft should team up years and years
Just don’t buy them
@@goGothitaLOL i'd rather for Microsoft to buy Koanmi because if not, u'll have Disney to worry about which would be way worse, because not only Sega would be even in way worse hands than Microsoft, but Disney would more likely get away with it too.. lol
Great video man
It's kinda scary in retrospect how even back in the day people called the Xbox the successor to the Sega systems.
Well it kind of was - Dreamcast was developed in conjunction with Microsoft (It even proudly declared it ran Windows CE on the casing) and when it came time to make the Xbox controller, Microsoft pretty blatantly copied the Dreamcast controller, right down to the button scheme (with added shoulder bumpers to match button count with Sony).
Yea my series X is basically the decoration next to my TV that almost never gets used. I think I played Morrowind a orginal xbox game on it more than anything this generation
This reminds me of game theory in 2014-2017
Ironic how I'm trying to get a region unlocked 360, & will get a series X when it stops releasing games (assuming there's anything worthwhile across the xbox one & series X)
What's funny is that Sega even had this deal with Xbox where multiple Dreamcast IPs would come to the system (and the Xbox almost got Dreamcast backwards compatibility too, until the two companies couldn't agree on which of them would run the online service for DC games played on the new system).
I guess this means that Halo will end up going the Sonic route. Being the one exclusive franchise the console is synonymous with, eventually going multiplatform and that becoming the norm in a decade. Can't wait for Halo 5 DX and Halo Infinite: Battle on the Switch 2
good god this is a banger video how do you have under 200 subs
My biggest problem with the Xbox1 was that it required me to sign in every time I tried getting on after my brother played. And being a dumb kid, I couldn’t remember passwords all that well.
I had the Sega 32X and when it worked it was cool but it had issues.... I think Doom was the only game that ran smooth..🤣
You completely left out the HD DVD drive peripheral for the 360 in the equation when they were trying to compete with Blu-ray it was basically their equivalent of the Sega CD
7:10 "Oh hey, it's Trunks! :D"
0:36 Saints Row?
aww good video though, seemslike I'm your 222nd Subscriber xD
There was a tuxedo cat in this video
give that one all of the scritches.
And Lessbox fans will still claim their winning. 😅
I feel like the music is a bit too loud or your voice is too low :d
Watching this after decided to retire my 10 year old Xbox One and kept it as a rare collectors item.
Although, unlike SEGA, I don’t see a come back.
What is the music that plays between 0:00 and 0:34? It sounds so familiar but I can't find it.
How do you have under 200 subs? Great content!
The only reason Id buy a Saturn these days is for 2 games... Snatcher (a Hideo Kojima game, go check it out), and Radiant Silvergun (aka the prequel to Ikaruga, which came out on Dreamcast, GC originally).
Microsoft should put their pathetic billion dollar failure out of its misery.
The whole Xbox situation reminds me of the story of Atari and how gaming almost died, I think I watched a few videos about it long time ago and I wonder if gaming industry is going to be able to survive this fallout again :)
Gaming was in its infancy when Atari collapsed and almost took the industry with it. If Xbox goes, gaming will still be around as there are plenty of alternatives. Gaming has really come a long way despite the problems that modern gaming faces today.
Btw, typo on "short sided" in the slide that you compare the saturn to the x bone.
Good thing I bought the Xbox One pt.2 at a 50% discount. Might be done with games for good and sticking with what I got.
Idk if I'd consider a mobile developer and the guys that made redfall as top talent within Bethesda.
This video is great
Thanks dude.
I might not agree with everything but majority of it I do. And ima Microsoft fan
I want Microsoft to do better to, thank you for being respectable.
My last Xbox was the one x. I can’t see me ever replacing it
great video
I did like and wanted the 32X. It let me play doom for the first time as a kid. :)
The Sega/Xbox comparison makes sense, and it's definitely a good one.
Unfortunately for Xbox fans, Microsoft doesn't have to care about being in the console biz anymore. They're making stupid money with their new cash cow: OpenAI. At the end of the day, Microsoft continues to be a tech juggernaut and this L means nothing to a company worth over $3 trillion.
But it's sad for those of us in which Xbox at some point held a special place in their hearts. The Xbox brand might be soulless these days, but there were people involved in it and around it over the years who put their passion into it. You could see it and feel it.
The destruction of that passion is what I believe people are actually disappointed over--not Xbox's self-destruction as a brand.
Yup. I switched to linux over 2 years ago
Ok I’m a Mac/Nintendo gamer now
What will happen to Rareware? Develop for Nintendo?
Only time will tell, they can even end up being an indie company like Toys For Bob, but let's hope for the best
I do like that the series X has some backwards compatibility. Since most companies are too lazy or greedy to port their games.
Honestly it feels like karmic justice. Microsoft rode the waves of the Dreamcast's failure, made an x86 Dreamcast to get their feet wet, then made a Super Dreamcast that rocked the industry only to end up failing like Sega.
Most companies do this. Mostly coz they won’t have a long term vision, idea on how to make games but somehow incharge of people who are supposed to make games.
Technically sega should have no mention because sega didn't make any mistakes people just didn't like sega anymore waiting for the next sonic game and is why the dreamcast didn't sell well mostly because of this time *communities* where being created
The video audio didn't work for me
And it all ends with a 380mm orbital barrage....
To be fair Sony themselves did try to extend the lifespan of the PS2 with an addon called the eyetoy, just like the kinect is was awful, the difference is that Sony stopped making them once they realised that nobody wanted it whereas Microsoft just kept making kinects with there even being an updated version of it for the Xbox one which surprisingly fixed the tracking and identification issues the original had but nobody wanted it and there were no games for it so it sold badly anyway.
PlayStation actually followed the same route with sales if anyone noticed.
the saturn had more games than n64, theres over a thousand
its just most never left japan
Xbox 360 was the peak of xbox. The only games i enjoy now are from Nintendo. If Nintendo ever flatlines i would just stop gaming forever
You got a phone ? That is where it is all going.
Didn't they say this like 10 years ago?
You could have also thrown in Atari parts
