Why is a Sega Saturn so expensive? - eviltoast

And why can’t I find it anywhere? I know it wasn’t very popular when it was out, but is there really a huge demand for it now? I remember 7 years so, I could walk into a retro game store and see a console for $45.

    It flopped. It adds mystique to the system, since so many did not play it when it was actively supported. You see this a lot with game systems that crashed and burned… the Turbografx-16, the 3DO, the Nuon, and one of Sony’s rare bombs, the Playstation TV.

    Like NBC used to say, “if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!” That’s doubly true for game systems. People want to know what they missed.
