Not sure this is the right forum for this, but hopefully an admin will move it if not.

Some time ago, while reading through the mags uploaded to the site, I stumbled on a curious mystery. An article in Electronic Gaming Monthly (I think; I should have made a note of the issue and page number but didn't) reported that AT&T and Sanyo were cancelling their 3DO models. It elaborated that Sanyo, having gotten a look at early 3DO sales figures, was deciding to take a "wait and see" approach.

I've read every issue I can find of EGM (and GamePro) from the 3DO launch until its discontinuation, and I have yet to find a follow-up to this article. The mystery here, of course, is what made Sanyo change their minds, since the Sanyo 3DO ultimately was released, albeit only in Japan. Can anyone here point me to a magazine issue which answers this mystery?
