Lol hardly a Sega fanboy. I agree with your "respect your elders" standpoint but its important to respect them all. Sega had some monumental breakthroughs but ultimately fell victim to itself with its odd marketing approach of adding onto the original genesis both with billions of add ons. It also had a lot of weird marketing schemes that left a bad taste in consumers mouths. Sega dreamcast was arguably the console that set the stage for modern gaming, but ultimately the infrastructure required for its success wasn't yet in place. On a side note I think Nintendo spent so long at the top I think they lost site and started doing there own thing. It works in its limited fanbase, but it has strayed so far from the seat of power it used to have that it really isn't taken seriously by a large percentage of the consumer and developer market. I'm really waiting for them to go the way of Sega once their fans realize they've purchased Mario, Mario cart, and Zelda for the twentieth time.
