Did Sega ruin Video Games? Console wise that is.
Think about before the Mega CD. Games console were about one thing the Games. Ii didn't matter if it play CD's. Or scratch the DVD's discs. It was about the games. Did Sega take that away? Yes. Now people don't care about the companies that made video consoles to what they are, all they care about is what consoles can do, and they always want the one, that can do more than just games for them.
When you people had a Snes or a Mega Drive. Did you ever care if it played CD's or DVD's. We all fantasised about it, but look what has happened. Now there corporate pushovers, and it's all thanks to Sega and their appeal. Had Sony never seen their Mega CD. They would of never ever asked Nintendo to join with a Sony connection. Let alone be turned down, and join the industry themselves.
Anyway, does anyone else think this bald move of Sega may of cost the end just Games on the console?
All though i'm not moaning that any given console has rubish games-I love the DC!

PC's also use CD's as a storage format.
Bald move? lol!
Sorry but I think you are talking bollards. CD usage was not the design of a particular company, it was simply a necessity of technology to improve storage space for game development, as cartridges were insufficient. That was the main motive - as the Dreamcast showed, Sega were often cathing up rather than setting new trends.

Sega didn't make the game industry go onto CD's it was going that way anyway, Sega where just he first company to take the initiative. Shame they didn't pull it off very well.
Sega's console didn't even affect today's console industry.
Bad point there..
