The article has many viewpoints, but the most logical one (to me, at least) is that the DC failed because there wasn't enough money to properly market the thing. If they had deeper pockets, it might well have thrived and Sega might still be a contender in the console market today. There were other factors, of course, such as the loss of EA's support, the stained legacy of the Saturn, and the general excitement that Microsoft was about to release a new platform. Plus, everyone seemed to know that Sega was doing badly and didn't much faith (or their hard-earned dollars!) into the platform.
