| samus aran rules said: "Sony "stole" them with the use of other means. Superior technology and opportunities for third parties" You got to be kidding me! Did PS1 have superior technology more so than N64? No it did not. PS1 was 32 bit and N64 64 bit. Either way that wasn´t the reason. The reason was that PS1 did get a much bigger userbase and bigger money was to be made on Sony´s platform than on Nintendo´s. "Wait... wasn´t the first metal gear on a Nintendo console??" Exactly. Which is something Sonyfans never seems to remember in cases like this. Sony weren´t the start of it all when it comes to videogaming, there was a time before it. |
I will take your challenge.
1. N64 released later than the ps1. Another thing is that the Atari jaguar also had 64 bits. Does that make it better than the ps1 and equal to the n64 ?... No :p and while the n64 did have some advantages over the ps1. Nintendo was struggling the third partys by controlling which games was released and taking huge license fees over their cartridges. Not only that, the disc space on those were also limiting.
By using the ps1 they had more space for their games (look at cnc 64. It might have been 3d but it didn't have any fmvs from the ps and pc versions of the game.) and they were cheaper to publish/produce.
Superior technology doesn't always just mean 5 extra polygons on screen at once you know :p
2. The first metal gear was PORTED to a nintendo console yes.
But it originally released on the MSX or something. I'm not sure if that's spelled correctly... Something that nintendofans never seem to remember in cases like this :p
Regardless it was mg and not mgs (another notion) all mgs games were on sonys consoles :p
