I dont know what kind of negroid keeps parroting that Saturn was "big" in Japan. it sold alright, got to a good start with Virtua Fighter 2 but it sold 5.8 million overall, PS did 21.59 mln. you can tell VF2 was its biggest success, none of its other games broke 1 mln copies in Japan.

>Saturn dominated Japan until 1997
"dominated" is a strong word. it got an early lead in 1994 but that was it. then it went head to head with PS. in 1997, PS overtook and N64 entered the market too.
>Sakura wars was a huge success
it was only big by Saturn standards in Japan. no way it'd sell much in US. people give Stolar shit because they think all RPGs would sell like FFVII. the truth is that to this day FF is the only JRPG series that sold big in US. theres no other JRPG in top 50 sellers for PS in US. no one except for a small niche of weebs actually cared about Grandia and the rest.
