Sony's revolutionary Play station has alot of power that cause many difficulties with Nintendo and sega to keep up, Nintendo took a different approch where sega filled up they Saturn with 2 processors and alot more power than game developers could manage and Saturn also wasn't well thoughts through which meant the cpus would work well with most games it had and couldn't harness the power it produced.

The Saturn was to be released on confirmed date however, playstaion was to be released the week after so sega went after dominating the market before Playsation was released so they let out the Saturn before the release data which caused problems because shops weren't ready to sell because they weren't expecting a seriously close deadline and game developers never got a chance to meet the deadlines or to explore the Saturn capabilities, this lost most of the satisfaction and trust of sega's customers and 3rd party developers. furthermore since it became clear that it wouldn't be a successful console, sega of America announced that the Saturn isn't their future console which dropped sales dramatically.

The PlayStation sold over 100million consoles which helped build a good repetition with sony's customers and 3rd party developers. it was also a great console to play and work with as it was very well designed and simple.

the Dreamcast was released by sega which also has alot of power and many great features but because of sega's bad repetition with previous console, it was ignored by their customers, 3rd party developers and the stores who refused to sell........ their customers had moved on to the PS2 which ran for over 7yrs and dominated the market.

sega was great and legendary but many things let it down which in my opinion wouldn't have happened if sega hadn't refused to work with Sony's proposal.

Why did Sega stopped making consoles?

The reason why Sega stopped making consoles is that the sales were sluggish, especially the Sega Saturn (which was why the Dreamcast was brought to America), and the Dreamcast as well. Also, the console wars, ironically, the Dreamcast won... AT LEAST for its time.
