To divert some attention away from the PlayStation launch, Sega began bundled units with Clockwork Knight and Worldwide Soccer: Sega International Victory Goal Edition between the 2nd and 30th of September. Sega forecasted that 600,000 Saturns would be sold in the US in 1995, but there were a number of factors causing headaches for the firm. For one, it is thought the Saturn cost roughly $380 to produce (versus the $300 or so for the PlayStation), and Sega had misjudged the public’s enthusiasim over a $400 “next generation” console, many of whom were waiting to see how Sony would respond. In the end, 80,000 Saturn units were sold in North America before the PlayStation, while the PlayStation amassed 100,000 unit sales just from pre-orders, with about 130,000 consoles sold within its first week. Sega disputed the figures, claiming 100,000 consoles were sold by the end of August
