[edit] Stolar's discharge

"While Stolar left the company a month prior to the US release of the system"

I vaguely remember Stolar being relieved of his duties as president of Sega of America after Sega of Japan's president heard about his inflammatory remarks in some magazine interview, where he said something about how the imminent success of the Dreamcast (it had such a bright future before the PS2 details came out) in the US would mean Sega's parent company allowing him control of SOA independent of SOJ.

If anybody ever looks for citations on this article, they might look into that. -VJ 01:08, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

his opinion failed to show the power of the PlayStation in a positive light

Erm, that should be Saturn, not PlayStation...

[edit] This person is not insignificant!!!

Mr. Stolar is extremely important in the history of videogames. Whether you love him or despise him, his role was NOT insignificant in the advancement of videogames, due to his high roles at both Sony and Sega.

Please do not delete!!!
