Yep, the 3DO was definitely ahead of it's time.

Certainly in terms of launch price. 699 US dollars?!?!?

Oh, it was expensive! But outside of the Neo Geo, there wasn't a better system; and the Neo Geo couldn't handle the 3D games available on the 3DO.
Even PCs of the time couldn't deliver the games available on the 3DO. The 32x was probably the next available system that could deliver games close to the 3DO, but it never had the quantity or quality of games that were available on the 3DO.

The 32X also had potential, shame SEGA of Japan killed it because it was projected by SEGA of America.
The biggest issues with the 3DO were IMO:
1st - Making multiple versions made by different companies
2nd - High price tag
