Sega fucked up by not trusting Tom Kalinske.
>man singlehandedly makes Sega a force during the Genesis era when Nintendo ran its business like the fucking yakuza
>Kalinske knows Saturn's proposed architecture is bullshit, was in talks with his friends at Silicon Graphics to make Saturn's GPU; Sega of Japan rejected his advice
>Silicon Graphics partners with Nintendo for N64
>Kalinske still manages to secure heavy 3rd party support, prepares a huge array of launch titles
>SoJ freaks the fuck out over PlayStation announce, decides to release ahead of their proposed launch date
>Paid marketing push not ready
>Few games are ready, 3rd parties are pissed because they planned their own marketing budgets to coincide with the launch
>System is $200 more than PS1 with nogaems
>3rd parties jump ship not only for Saturn, but can't trust Sega anymore so fewer titles on Dreamcast
>SoJ blames Kalinske because he's a gaijin
>he peaces out and becomes CEO of Leapfrog, growing it into the largest educational toy company in the US
>Dreamcast never fucking recovers
>Sega forced out of consoles forever

You could say not trusting him was the genesis of their console failures.
