Burying the aXe

The Playstation had an awesome initial few months. And by the time it hit 9 months it had quite an impressive library of games. That's one of the reasons it left the Saturn in its dust.

I think the Saturn's line-up at the end of 1995(VF2, Virtua Cop, Sega Rally, Panzer Dragoon) was more impressive than the Playstation's but the PS had many kick-ass games in 1996.

add rayman to that PS lineup....

Warhawk rocked. And of couse Sony cancels the sequel.

Is it possible to get a domestic Xbox modded for import games?

There is exactly one reason the PS "left the Saturn in its dust", Final Fantasy VII. The early Saturn games blew away the early PlayStation games. I would love to hear the PlayStation game that matched Panzer Dragoon. Virtua Fighter and Daytona are vastly superior to Tekken and Ridge Racer.

Daytona on the Saurn couldnt hold a candle to the PS Ridge Racer, truth hurts.

I said one of the reasons the PS was more successful than the Saturn was because it had such an impressive launch when compared to the Saturn's. And maybe not in your eyes, but in the general public's eyes the PS launch was more impressive. Saying one game (FF7) was the only reason is not very logical. FF7 was just one of many reasons.

I don't want to come off as a Saturn basher because I loved mine. I bought it during the pre-launch and it was the only 32bit system I had for over a year afterwards. Only problem was that I would find myself getting frustrated that the Playstation would keep getting quality game after quality game when the Saturn was getting some quality Sega titles and basically less than impressive ports of Playstation games.

As for a PS game that matched Panzer? Well, I don't recall there being any 3D shooters where you sat on a dragon when the PS launched, but that doesn't matter. There were many spectacular PS games in other genres, and many were mentioned in posts above mine.

You must be speaking about graphics, because Daytona had beter gameplay and more tracks.

This explains why the Saturn was ahead in sales until FF7 was released.

The Saturn was ahead in sales until FF7 was released? That's news to me.
Edit: Some proof that the Saturn was ahead of the PS in terms of sales would be nice too, Yoshi.
