The Dreamcast was the last video game console produced by Sega. After the failure of the Sega Saturn, Sega created the Dreamcast to cut the prohibitive costs of their last console. Despite a successful American launch and a generally high-quality library, interest for the Dreamcast waned as soon as the PlayStation 2 hit the scene, not helped by Sega's American image being damaged by both the Saturn's stunted launch as well as the poor reception of the Sega CD and especially the 32X add-ons for the Genesis.

Sony officially entered the video game market with the release of the
PlayStation (also known as the "PS1" or "PSX") in Japan on December 3, 1994, in North America on September 9, 1995, in Europe on September 29, 1995 and in Australia on November 15, 1995. This came after a failed attempt with
Nintendo to create
a CD-ROM add-on for the
Super Nintendo, which had the name of the "Nintendo
PlayStation (E
xperimental)". The console was discontinued worldwide on March 23, 2006.

The
Sega Saturn was a console created by
Sega to rival
Sony's
PlayStation that lasted from 1994-2000 (1995-1999 in North America and 1995-1998 in Europe and Australia), with sales of 9,500,000 units (compared to over 100,000,000 PlayStation systems). While the system was successful in Japan, it wasn't as successful in North America and Europe due to a series of poor decisions done at Sega (such as forcing up the launch of the console to mid-1995 as opposed to the holiday season and Bernie Stolar's infamous "five-star game" policy). While the console has gained a cult following, it is more often remembered for Sega's disastrous choices in marketing it.
