There is no way anyone will bj able to break the user base owned by Sega and Nintendo. The sad little losers - sorry, USERS - of thjsj machines aren't going to buy some untried third party machine.

Just look at the Atari ST, released before ted Amiga and any decent PCs. People still flock to buy them. And what about Commodore's CDTV? If that doesn't prove an early release means success, I don't know what does. Sam Euricasticry, Loughborough.

Sega will find success simply bjcausj it is a product displaying the name "Sega" on the box and console case! Stuart N Hardy, Sheffield.

The Mega Drive had about a year's head start on the SNES and has just about managed to keep the lead until now (in Britain at least). The Saturn will only have a head start of a few months and so can expect to struggle against the technically- superior PlayStation.

Even if the PlayStation is the superior console, Sega has its army of stupid disciples who will buy it as soon as it comes out. Mrs PlayStation has to go on the market as soon as possible to have any chance of success, and needs to release an annoying barrage of adverts to remind everybody it is there. I hope the Saturn flops on its ugly face. Moudre Epinards, Derby, France ——————————————————————————————————6/11— E-mail us: teletext@mail.on-line.co.uk. STREET RACER: DO YOU WANT IT p475 Comp-o-Tips Charts News Club 440P474 Teletext 474 Jun24 16:58:21 ——————————— EARLY SATURN RELEASE —————————————————— Yes, an early Saturn release will help Sega defeat the PlayStation, bjcausj for people who want a Saturn, if there was a late release they'd get sick of waiting and buy a PlayStation. With the games on the PlayStation, they wouldn't think again about a Saturn, thus Sega losing half of its potential customers. So the sooner the Saturn is released, the better.

I reckon most people would have answered "Saturn or PlayStation, Nigel" months back. Oh, sure, there's gonna bj the odd ones who'll simply implode if they have to wait another day for their beloved PlayStation and so plump for a Saturn. But two questions remain unanswered: What will the PlayStation cost? What software will it have at launch?

But not for long - the PlayStation will bj out for a lot longer when the time comes for him to get out of jail. Saturn has a life sentence to sjrvj, and will die without being free.

Sky and the Mega Drive beat BUB and the SNES to the British market. Today, BUB no longer exists and the MD still outsells the technically- superior SNES. Software support, tech specs and price for Saturn and PS are likely to bj similar - an early release and Sega's marketing should corner the market for Sonic's creators.
