Sega to win consle war!
Chi of GameCritics.com has written an analysis of how he thinks history sides with Sega and why the Dreamcast could actually win the impending four-way console war. Here’s an excerpt from his editorial:
“History shows us that it’s rarely the technical specs of the hardware that determines the success of a system. Rather it’s the games produced for that particular platform that determine the final outcome. In the late ’80s, during the 8-bit generation of consoles, Nintendo’s NES was fairly outgunned by the Sega Master System (SMS). The SMS displayed more on-screen colors at once, could render larger sprite sizes and boasted a faster processor. Yet it was the NES that emerged victorious due to the enormous overriding popularity of pioneering games like Super Mario Bros., Metroid and The Legend of Zelda.”
