You are wrong. N64 saw MUCH MORE hate that ANY console ever created. And to help you remember things. The hate was directed not only by press, fans, etc but from developers, publishers too. which is not the case with ps3 right now. Come on ps3 fans just admit that you are not familiar to be in the last position and even ms beat you week after week especially on Christmas where you expected skyrocket sales for your machine. I'll say it again. It's good for videogames industry when a giant falls as such things made evolution new ideas and better products. Nintendo did it, ms performs better and better as time pass. It's Sony's turn to think creatively and counter attack with fresh, innovative software in this generation and with a much well rounded console in the next generation. That or they will fail. |
I think the Sega Saturn was hated more.
I never made the prediction that sales would skyrocket once I saw $400 vs. $200. We also got to remember Wii is $250 vs. Xbox 360 $200. There is a big gap between production costs.
N64 hate decreased in America, from what I remembered, when Goldeneye was released. That market segment (console FPS fans) moved to the Original Xbox with Halo. GC was left with the hardcore Nintendo franchise fans, including myself.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
