What, did you read that off some fanboy website or something? I bought my Saturn on launch day and it didn't go like that at all. Your timeline isn't even right. The Saturn launched at least a year before the N64. It also initially came with four games and then they mailed a fifth to people who had registered their console.
And what other console has launched several months before the widely announced retail date?
And the Saturn didn't have a "murdersome package selection". It didn't have any package selection.
And it wasn't ever $500. It was $399.99 on launch day. I still have my Babbage's receipt for it. $399 is high, yes, but with a packin game + 3 full games at the initial offer + the 5th that was mailed out, $399 wasn't any worse than any other console has been.

i was guesstimating chad, i was like 7-8 when it came out and the only one i knew who had one was my semi-rich cousin -.- i got my n64 that christmas,i knew it was 400, i just remember the N64 being 199$ or something. but still it was all around the same time to me... and i was a kid, lol...I never seen a sega CD till 3 years after... for its time it was way overpriced and that could very well be considered the equivalent of the PS3's price in modern economic value.

if you think thats funny, you better head over to IGN, everyone knows that IGN has always favored the sony consoles, but they used to have a poll on the main page 2-3 days ago that was just laughable... check out some other polls ive found first 10 polls on google that show up...(6min span of google) :notworthy: *google* but these are still really interesting results considering my keyword was "will you buy a PS3 poll"...
