If it had two sticks and a DVD drive, it would have been really great. But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome.

It was mainly the fact that the games could easily be copied by anybody with a decent CD burner.
Shortly after a game dropped, a guy would come around my work selling shady copies on cdr in jewel cases with bubble jet printed covers for $20.
Can’t sell a system if nobody is buying games.
Also, had a buddy that used a bootloader on it to watch downloaded anime back when only the must mainstream stuff was available in the West.
