>32X was the failure.
True. But he financial loses were minimal. Sega only made about 700,000 to 800,000 units of 32x. Sega sold about 650,000 Sega 32x units.

>The Saturn suffered
The Saturn wasn't really affected by 32x. But 32x was definitely affected by Saturn. The Saturn stole all of 32x hype. It wasn't a lot of hype but it there was some.

>If Sega had used all the resources they wasted on 32X to make a great Sonic game
Blame the Japanese for this. Sonic Team didn't want to work Sonic for some reason and wanted to make "Nights" instead.

>and a couple of good sports games
Blame the Japanese and Japanese studios again. They don't care about making American sports games.

And Western game studio's warned Sega that they were not happy with the Sega Saturn hardware design. That if Sega didn't change it, then game studios like Electronic Arts would jump over to Playstation and N64 and devote more resources to those consoles.

Kalinske warned Sega Japan, but Sega Japan ignored the warnings and all opinions of Western Game studio's.

>maybe a good rpg early on in the Saturn’s life it would have been more successful.
Saturn had plenty of RPGs made for it. So that's not an excuse.

>There is no realistic way the 32X could have been successful.
Launch 32x during Early 1992. Problem solved.

The Sega Saturn design was still being worked on , but The Hitachi SH2 CPU chips were already available. That's what the 32x uses. So launch the 32x in early 1992, and give the 32x a full three years of support before Saturn comes in the 1995. Problem solved.
