What!? lol.... "like Sega at the top of their power were able to do with the Saturn"... The Saturn's difficulty for developers is the number one reason it failed so miserably... The PS1 was very dev friendly, and that's why it shot to the top, b/c it was easier than both the Saturn and N64.... the only reason PS2 had any developer support was because they had such a strangle hold on the industry from PS1's success.
