and the CD32... I really liked it. BUT come on, a main selling point was the 32bits...they used a NINE year old 32 bit CPU. (the 020) came out in 84.
odd number 68K CPUs indicated a change to architecture more so than performance and most of those improvements in architecture simply would not benefit a game console, so unless they were going to put an a 040, 020 CPU was the only one that made sense.
