The games would all be better accordingly to all the people who believe that exclusivity makes for better games, so die die die PS3!!!

Wait so wouldn't the Wii have the best library ever regardless........dear God.

Reported!

@Kasz

The N64 failed? No it didn't. And to be perfectly honest I still believe the PS1 games library destroyed N64's so that sales gap isn't surprising for me.

Our ideas of "failed" seem to be clearly different. I see failed as selling less than 5 Million. 

The PS1 library dominated the N64's.  It just so happens that some of the most famous and recognizable games ever were on N64, so it barely seems like it lost.  But numbers don't lie, it was decimated.  But not a failure, only lost by comparison.  I mean, PS1 had some notables lol.  FF7, MGS, Symphony, Crash, Tomb Raider....

P.S. One of my guilty favorites was L.A.P.D. Future Cop. Best multiplayer EVER.

Yeah, that's how I saw it.

PS1 had FAR more games... but the N64 had those few iconic games that defined 3D games (Mario 64, Zelda 64) and those few games you'd play with your friends even in the PS2 era.  (Golden Eye, Mario Kart 64.)

Of course, the PS1 had some of these iconic games also.  MGS would be right behind Mario and Zelda in anyone's best franchise list.  An not because it's not as good, it just appeals to a smaller base.  Techinically, MGS might be the best franchise ever, as there are zero missteps lol.  Also, FF7 definitely defined SOMETHING, or people wouldn't still speak of it so fondly. 

I think it kind of shows that a few epic games can't carry you.  I think a few huge games PLUS something like, oh, say, a new control system, is enough though.
