Sega Saturn replaced the Genesis version and came with more advanced architecture. One thing you cannot deny, nevertheless, is that the previous Sega console, Sega Genesis was quite popular in the 1980s and early 90s. There were many explanations for the limited success of Saturn consoles ranging from its complicated dual CPU and price to the lack of a Sonic Hedgehog game and the huge popularity of the Sony PlayStation. However, the console was not as successful in Europe and North America as PlayStation and other popular consoles back then.
The Saturn is a 5th Gen 32-bit console that came after the 16-bit SEGA Genesis which was also known as MegaDrive in Japan and PAL territories.
Sega Saturn was a great console released by Sega Games in Japan in 1994 and later in North America and Europe in 1995.
