Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive? (self.retrogaming)

And why can't I find it anywhere? I know it wasn't very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

They're kinda rare. They didn't make a lot. SEGA of America's CEO even complained to the president of the company in Japan about this before he was shitcanned, according to some recently released company reports from that period.

Yeah, Nintendo stuff might actually be cheaper because it was more in demand and common, whereas that's just less of the Sega units around in people's basements etc
