TCW Podcast Episode 127 - Dreams of Sega
We look at the rapid decline of SEGA. A company mired in infighting between executives. This led to the disasterous launch of the Sega Saturn. Which was launched early as a panic move when faced with the competition from the SONY PlayStation. SEGA tried again with the Dreamcast, but was hindered by NEC only able to produce a quarter of the promised chips. Continued infighting and an exodus of middle management led to more problems. Resulting in the eventual merger, after a second attempt, with Sammy where SEGA currently resides as SEGA Sammy Holdings!
