It’s hard to believe but at this point Microsoft has been doing consoles for longer than Sega ever did.
But both put our four consoles each, both never had a first place finish but managed to be very influential anyway, both had one very successful console that they squandered the lead of because they misguidedly chased peripherals at the end of the generation, both never quite achieved full global success (which kept them from outdoing their competition), both had a signature franchise that got mismanaged horribly, both pioneered online play and digital distribution services. There’s a lot of similarities there.
Between Xbox and Sega, which console line does you think was better?
XBOX
Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Xbox Series S|X
SEGA
Master System
Mega Drive
Saturn
Dreamcast
