Sega's Saturn holds the unfortunate fate of being the beginning of the end of Sega as a hardware manufacturer. Launched in 1994, Sega mistakenly believed their competition would come in the form of the (unsuccessful) Atari Jaguar and designed their console primarily as such, essentially pairing two Mega 32X consoles together for a 2D graphics monster with some 3D capability.
Sadly, between developers being unable to fully utilise a twin-CPU, twin-GPU system, and the extremely successful launch of Sony's fully-3D PlayStation, the Saturn would prove to be a financial disaster from which Sega would never fully recover. It was discontinued in 1998 with just 9.26 million units sold.
