+Mitch Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 The videogame market in America crashed before the PAL 5200 made it out of the door. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk_supermarket Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 then why do we have the 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 then why do we have the 7800? Because at that time the Videogame market started to recover from the crash. Actually even if the market hadn't have crashed I don't think the 5200 would have been sold outside the USA because of those joysticks. Apparently they don't centre when released and are very fiddly to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
