I know most of this is common knowledge for most Sega nerds like myself but this was a really interesting write up. I can only dream what could have been if Sega made different decisions back then.

Great link. Neat!

As a Sega loyalist, I saved all summer for a 32X, only to find stores stocking nothing but SegaCD games.

So I saved longer and bought a SegaCD. The SegaCD launch titles I bought weren't good, and the stores were already stocking nothing Sega but Dreamcast games by that time.

So, like many others, the SegaCD was the last Sega system I would buy until the Genesis Mini.

I'll totally buy a Dreamcast Mini, though. Haha.
