Why did Sega commercials always shit-talk other video game systems? They just came across as weird and insecure desu.

Because it worked.

Worked so well that they don't make systems anymore.
>>
>>3896000
Sony contributed towards the Dreamcast's fall though.
>>
Because the '90s was all about being aggressive and "cool". You'd be retarded to think that Nintendo and Sony didn't try to talk shit about the competition during that time as well.
>>
It's a repeat of the Disney/Looney Tunes dynamic.

>>3896037
The 90's sure were an interesting time
>>
>>3895972
This was actually a thing since second gen. Sega just managed to be the most effective doing it.

all consoles are irrelevant nowadays

funny how pc master race ended up winning
>>
>>3895972
It's called banter.
>>
>>3896013
This. Nintendo did the same thing in their promotional videos for Starfox 64 and DK64.
>>
>>3896062
You'll find a strain of console wars in any male dominated hobby that has ever existed.

>Sega

Sega of America/europe did, not Sega of Japan.
It's a westie thing.
>>
I always thought that Sega's commercials came over as arrogant and annoying. That and Sonic made me dislike Sega for a long time until I actually tried the systems and see that was really the American marketing (and Sonic) and made me dislike them so much.
>>
>>3896137

The PCs were always winning. We were the Caesar up high, idly watching with a bored expression the peasants fight with forks and mud in the colloseum.

This is why The Master System outsold the NES in Australia?
>>
>>3896403
Yeah, I remember these plebeians playing their shitty Mega Man X and Mega Man Wily Wars... while we, the patrician master race, were playing the superiour Hi-Tech Mega Man games on DOS.
>>
>>3896252
Nah, SEGA of Europe didn't need it
>>
>>3895972
Yes, anon. I'm sure that the 13 year old boys it was targeting were thinking "Sega is weird and insecure".

Grow up, m8.
>>
>>3896612
That's not the point. Pubers are weird and insecure.
>>
>>3896591
I'm from Spain and Sega here were a bit banter-y with Nintendo, although not as direct and aggressive as in USA.

By the way do you guys remember the drawings that kids sent to vidya magazines? There were a lot of Mario vs Sonic doing fatalities to each other. Some kids even made comics about it.
>>
>>3896000

Yeah, they sure showed Pretendo, nobody bought N64 because it didn't have enough games like Saturn has.

Disney NEVER took jabs at WB shows.
>>
>>3896641
They did pull their tits straight out during filming of Who Framed Roger Rabbit demanding that their shitty mouse gets equal screentime as Bugs Bunny.
>>
>>3896249
Holy shit, that's actually true now that I think about it.
>>
>>3896573
well seeing as how megaman x came out in 93 we would have been playing doom consolebabby
>>
>>3896737
Nice, you got one port (which sounds like ass and controls worse).
I'll go play other games from Capcom, Konami, Hudson, Tecnosoft, Data East, Namco, and many other arcade companies that supported consoles, have fun with your gritty FPSs (which honestly aren't bad, I also owned a computer back then and I played the shit out of Heretic 1 and 2, I was an idort, but leaned more toward consoles)
>>
>>3896000
I don't see how it did outside of the blast processing meme
>>
>>3896747
You sound like a weeb. None of those devs made any games as creative as what you could find on computer in the late '80s and '90s.
>>
>>3897049
>You sound like a weeb
Nice strawman.
>None of those devs made any games as creative as what you could find on computer in the late '80s and '90s.
Sounds like a vague and hyperbolic accusation. What are some games that you consider "creative" that can't be found on consoles or arcades?
>>
>>3895972
You don't remember when Intellivision did the same thing?

#2 talking shit about #1 is always acceptable marketing

>>3896002
Jesus Christ how horrifying
>>
>>3896129
speaking of that, i distinctly remember those commercials as a kid and it was right around that time enron was found fucking up markets or something and everyone went to jail
>>
>>3896025
>calls Playstation "plaything"
Fucking savage
