People who argue against points 5 and 6 seem to forget that the turds that we call the N64 and GameCube outsold fantastic consoles like the Genesis and the Dreamcast. I play just about every genre of game ever concieved and I have a hard time justifying the inclusion of those systems in my collection.

Whoa, I thought we were past that decade? Sega does what Nintendon't?

It's really strange you're comparing systems from different generations. Still, the biggest N64 hit in the west (besides Mario) was Goldeneye, and Bond isn't quite a Nintendo mascot.

Oh, and just about everything outsold the Dreamcast. The Game Gear outsold the Dreamcast. Heck, the PSP outsold everything Sega, and will overtake SNES/NES eventually. Maybe you find those handhelds more worthy than the GameCube, I dunno...


OT: Gamecube!

For a direct comparison I can point out the fact that the N64 outsold the Saturn nearly 4 to 1 despite the Saturn's 2 year head start. When I revisit the 5th generation consoles, it's usually to play the Saturn and rarely to play anything on the N64. Mario Sunshine is a great example of point #6, a second rate platformer selling over 10 million copies is somewhat disheartening. I admit that the Dreamcast was a poor example. About the Game Gear and PSP, I do think that the Game Gear is pretty much on par with the GameCube in terms of game selection and that the PSP is vastly superior.
