Imagine people in this day still lay all the blame the American branch. M8, the Saturn was shit. Even in it's home territory it was shit. For most people who bought it, it was a home version of VF/Daytona/Sega Rally. It was made overpriced, unnecessarily difficult to develop for, and even SEGAs first party offerings were lacking compared to the Mega Drive. A lot of the blame also goes to the Japan division.
They're the ones who made the hardware, they're the ones who told them to release it earlier than scheduled (pissing the retailers and devs alike off), and they're the ones who couldn't be bothered to develop games western audiences would respond to, despite the HUGE success in the western markets compared to the east.
Plenty of blame can still be laid at the American branch, but people like you need to quit sucking Japanese cock and pretending the Saturn didn't have huge problems due to the Japanese team as well.
