Despite the fact that the Saturn was just released, it seems that people at
the EB's and Soft Etc. are indicating that 3DO wasn't hurt at all by it.  In
fact, it seems that 3DO sales are improving.  Why is that?

Could it be that Sega is the one convincing people that '16-bit is dead'?
Then, Joe Consumer goes into the local video game store to possibly buy Sega's
new machine.  Joe looks at the new Saturn and says, "Wow."  Then, he looks
over a little to the right and says, "What's that machine?
Three...Deee...Zero?  I think that I've heard tella one o' them.  The graphics
look just as good, and there's a much larger selection of games for it.
Hmmmmm."

Now if only he could also say, "And that 3do is only $199."

Oh well, just a thought,
