For 2D cute girl games, there's more for the Saturn.

Doesn't the Saturn have the option of having the player confess?
I like the arcade Tokimemo.. (^_^;)

|         As one mag tells it, the ratio is now almost 10 PSX to 1 Saturn
| sold.  I think that PSX really has won the 32-bit battle, beating up on the
| 64-bit Nintendo while at it.  The top gamesoft sales list is almost all PSX
| games, with Saturn being next and Nintendo 64 being third.

According to Oricon, 60% of software is PS, less than 20% Saturn,
5% N64, and 15% others (FX, Gameboy, PCE, SFC).
But this is the general population.. not "otaku" types.
For those who like anime, Saturn could be beating PS.
