The Sega Saturn was a console released by Sega in Japan on the November 22, 1994. It is generally seen as an (undeserved, in some eyes) failure, being totally outplayed in the market by the Sony Playstation. It was released in Japan on November 22 1994, in the United States on May 11 1995, and in Europe on July 8 1995. Though originally scheduled to be released in America in September 1995, Sega of America moved the release date earlier in the hopes of cashing in on sales that would have went to the purchase of a Sony PlayStation, which made its debut in America in September 1995.
The Saturn contained a 32-bit video card. Games were released on CD-ROMs. It is followed by the Dreamcast. The Saturn was the first Segas video game console which can display 3D graphics.
In Japan, advertising for the Saturn was frequently provided by cult-favorite Segata Sanshiro.
