This same tactic is still being used today. Emotion chip, Toy Story graphics, 120fps, ect.

I always thought blase processing just meant more data was streamed off screen, so the gameplay would seemingly run smoother. I've been led astray.

How about apologizing for not bringing out Phantasy Star Online 2 to the US?

In defense of the Genesis, it COULD handle a lot more action on screen without slow down (i.e. lower FPS). Not due to "blast processing" nonsense though. The SNES just had terrible slow down issues for the first years of its existence. After a couple of years though devs figured out how to program around it, as proven by games like Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

The perfect apology would be Dreamcast 2.

It was one of the greatest marketing campaigns ever! Even though the processing power was the only thing it had better than SNES specs lol.. That mario kart commercial was greatness.. Sega made you feel like a B**** if you had a nintendo lol

Sega needs to release a Greatest Hits Vol 2 current or last gen with games like Moonwalker (arcade version) Jurassic Park, Batman and Robin, Eternal Champions etc etc and some Dreamcast games in there also

"How about apologizing for not bringing out Phantasy Star Online 2 to the US?"

How about gamers of that generation (which includes me), apologize for choosing Nintendo's consoles & games, OVER Sega's machines, back then...ESPECIALLY IN THE U.S.

And I say that, because Nintendo has the U.S. market locked, loaded & owned both hardcore gamers, & casuals, alike. Sega did exceptionally well in Europe, Australia, & other countries, outside the U.S.
And that was because Nintendo had become such a prevalent name, in the U.S. far more than any other country. Over in the states, back then, Mario has established Nintendo, as a HOUSEHOLD NAME..(much like Sony also became a HUGE household name....in fact, they stole the accolade from Nintendo with there 1st EVER console attempt, in PS1).

Americans were & still are, very brand loyal, sort of like some U.S. citizens would only drive a Dodge.... The difference was, Sega was no Ford, competition wise....

They didn't market the Megadrive/Genesis to the point that Nintendo did with NES & especially SNES. But, they were fighting an uphill battle, in terms of taking away BRAND LOYALTY from the U.S. market, & winning away the trust Nintendo had very quickly, & very smartly garnered in MOST ALL regions of the world. I mean, EVERYBODY knew Nintendo & NES & SNES..... But, Genesis/MD & Master System, just failed to hit big, impressive install bases in the U.S. especially, but also, to a faaaaar lesser degree, around the world.. Sega should have GOBBLED UP the European, Aussie, NZ & such markets, as they were open slather... We just didn't care about the brand name, on the console, as much as we did THE GAMES... And MD amassed quite an impressive catalogue of games....but, although the machines sold quite well, throughout the world, they just didn't deliver any knockout punches, to Ninty & the SNES,.....& that is strictly talking of marketing.

They had NO, or terrible TV advertising campaigns... They SHOULD HAVE HAD TV ADS GALORE.... I mean, Streets Of Rage, Sonic, Golden Axe, etc, etc.. there was just such an abundance of high quality titles on the machine. But, they failed to let enough people know... In fact, I don't remember ANY tv ads for Sega machine, & AT ALL!
And that is not because I never saw any, I more than likely DID....but, they didn't stick out, they were so forgettable.....whereas I remember certain, clever PS2 ads, like the pyramid of people one... that is how you sell 120+ million consoles.. I also remember SNES ads, & although nowhere near as clever & awesome as some of the Sony ones, I still remember them.
That goes to show, that with Nintendo advertising smarter, there ads would be at the forefront of consumers minds, whereas poor ol', financially struggling Sega, could probably barely afford to make the ads, let alone paying someone decent (expensive), just was NOT an option.

The MD/Genesis & The Master System, & Dreamcast were all great consoles. I would love Sega to bring a bunch of polished, scrubbed, 1080peed, 60fps-ed, & made to look as beautiful as possible on PS4, XBOne, & Wii-U. That would be sick.

Loved my Sega consoles except for Sega CD, and Nintendo and even my Turbo Graf 16 CD during the SNES Genesis days. I got them early since I lived in Los Angeles at the time and products were always released in L.A /New York first .
