The Sega Saturn  is a 32-bit fifth-generation video game console that was first released by Sega on November 22, 1994 in Japan, May 11, 1995 in North America, and July 8, 1995 in Europe. The system was discontinued in North America and Europe in 1998, and in 2000 inJapan.

The Saturn sold 9.5 million units worldwide. While its installed base in the United States ended at 2 million,  its installed base in Japan was more than 6 million units.  While it was popular in Japan, the Saturn failed to gain a similar market share in North America and Europe against its main competitors: Sony’s PlayStation and later the Nintendo 64.

In 2009, video game website IGN chose the Saturn to be their 18th best video game console of all time, out of their list of 25
