how the hell did hudson have money to put out so many consoles... doesnt make sense. And these consoles werent even entireley new, but just lil mods...Who else even does that? Usually they just let the console finish its life and then release the next gen system.....
Its like some sony ceo is like hey we forgot this tiny feature, lets put out a ps2 fx just to add this lil feature. No1 does that...unless they got super money or risking some shiznit i duno, just sounds odd, and I didnt expect that they would put out so many.
In Japan, the PCE was number 2 next to Nintendo/Famicom and was hugely successful(not just
number 2, like the SMS was behind the NES).
The Megadrive was technically a "failure" in Japan and the Saturn was actually Sega's most successful system there.
Now, in my opinion, as long as you make money, then a console is successful business-wise and the market is now so big, that a fourth console could still be a huge money maker.
This is why Nintendo still rakes in the bucks and could continue to do so forever even if it never comes back from 3rd place.
But the PC Engine wasn't just
getting by, it was a hit and lasted almost a decade.
