Why Sega Saturn might be annoying:

    They rushed to beat Sony Playstation to market, thus releasing it with only a few games.
    To speed up games they added a second processor, but a single fast processor would have been preferable.
    Because they gave software developers a poor development kit, most third party games were quite generic and did not take advantage of Saturn's hardware.
    The system was originally released to only four retail outlets
    It was incompatible with any other major gaming system, including Sega previous and future systems.
    The Japanese white Saturns were actually gray.
    When changing the batteries, all stored high scores were lost.

Why Sega Saturn might not be annoying:

    Over 150,000 units were sold on its release date (November 22, 1994).
    It was one of the quickest and best selling game systems in Japan.
    It successfully competed against #1 Nintendo.
    They spent two years to develop it.
    It was considerably more stable than Sony Playstation.
    The console was released almost a half a year ahead of schedule.
