Any one here work with the 3DO/m2 or Jaguar?

I think he was referring to M2, not the original.

He said it would have been "in the same position as 3DO, too little too late".

Ergo he has no idea what he's talking about 8)

the 3do was too little too late, so would it be the M2, somewhere between 2 generations of consoles, not enough power to differentiate from the previous, and badly positioned in the time. The 3do could not do anything against the SNES, the M2 would not have done anything against the ps1 (the DC came one year later, if you can come one year later an unreleased system, was much more powerful, has great games and floped badly). There is a lot of reasons Matsushita canned the M2 without even trying.

By the way, I'm one of the 5 owners of a 3do system in the world :) So I know about the M2 :)
 
WARP D2, I think I've seen some screens in Next Generation mag. It was made for DC later on, but the one for DC is very different to the one for M2.

the M2 version was a sort of gothic survival with swords.

See underlined: Could not do anything against the SNES? Like fully texture mapped 3D graphics?

3DO's problem was its completely insane price tag - very few people could reasonably afford it.
