In my estimation, the Saturn was awesome for niche-market cats (like me) who loved 2D animation and generally old-school type games. Meanwhile, PSX was blowing up on the 3D tip and that's where most people were going.

I never got a Saturn- I always played my friends', but if I can find one for a decent price, I think it's worth getting just for Radiant Silvergun, aka the greatest shooter ever. Look at the ebay prices for that game...
