Well, the 3D wasn't the best and it lacked the "true" transparencies that helped both 2D and 3D games (something other consoles had). It also didn't have the video processing of the PSX.
Bad hardware design (with its difficult development) is what helped tank it. It had a great head start in sales, but quickly lost out to the PlayStation.
I know it had some decent 2D games available (the Saturn version of X-Men vs. Street Fighter is the only one that was nearly arcade-perfect), but what exactly was the hardware specialized for?
