True, but N64 came out over a year (and a half [Japan]) after the PS1 so it was bound to have better specs - although I'm unsure if it was underpowered compared to how it was hyped during the Ultra 64 vaporware days or if the cart format really held it back. Sticking with carts certainly cost them the gen and is the reason the PS1 took off like it did. |
Maybe. But Nintendo put its eggs in the Graphics Basket because it thought that would be more than enough to keep the market to itself for another generation. It overvalued one quality, a step which literally cost it money with every system sold and game developed, and began to learn that mere meat does not a meal make.
