Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com July 6 news, in the 1990s, the game console "Royal three" is made up of Sony, Sega and Nintendo. At the end of the last century, Sega finally announced its withdrawal from the game console hardware market and transformed into a game software company after the defeat of the DreamCast mainframe. At the same time, Microsoft launched the Xbox mainframe to replace Sega to join the "mainframe war".

A large number of Sega documents from the 1990s have surfaced, providing more detailed information for "game archaeologists" who study this history.

According to Neowin's lead, CTOnews.com found in leaked documents an email written by Tom Kalinsky, chief executive of the United States of America, when he launched Sega's Saturn host in March 1996, revealing Sega's pride in its Saturn host at that time.

I just visited 10 retail stores in Tokyo (mostly in Akihabara); it's spring break, so there are a lot of teenagers / college students. Sega is killing Sony. Saturn hardware is sold out in every store, but there are still piles of Sony PlayStation that can't be sold.

▲ Picture Source Neowin in the above email, Kalinsky is proud that Sega beat Sony PlayStation at that time, and believes that Sega will "kill Sony" in the mainframe war.

But later, Sega began to decline all the way, and the position of the "imperial family" in the mainframe platform was also replaced by Microsoft. At one point, it was reported that Microsoft had a plan to buy Sega. Looking back on this period of time, it can be said that it is sad.
