Also, Sega lost a lot of support from different game developers. When Sega released the Saturn, they released it a lot earlier than originally scheduled, so they could compete with the PSX. They announced @ E3 that it was being released right away. Almost 6 months earlier than originally scheduled. This forced a lot of the game mfg's to either rush to get there launch games finished much sooner, or be postponed with the launch of the new system. Also, stores were ill-prepared to have the shelf space that was originally arranged for the Sega Saturn. This caused many of the game mfg's to cancel there production of video games for Sega. And some stores outright refused to sale the Saturn in there stores, as originally planned. This drastically effected the sales of the game system and thus why it didn't survive for vey long. Once Sega released the Dreamcast, many of the game mfg's still held there animosity towards Sega. This plagued Sega from releasing potentially great games from different developers, and a lot of games (esp sports) had to be developed by Sega themselves. Once Sony announced the PS2 & Microsoft was releasing the Xbox, they realized they wouldn't be able to compete with the large popular games the competitors would release, and ultimately announced the Dreamcast's cancellation, knowing sales would drop drastically
