N64 wasn't bad.

Game wise? no not really...but from a developer standpoint Nintendo basically Pissed in everyone's faces and told them it was raining

I think they did ok. Still profited tons of money and put out amazing games. Nintendo won and gamers won with that console. Not sure how anyone could compare it to the PS3, which cost Sony billions, and Saturn, which was a disaster for Sega.

I was pointing out to the way the Market and History remembers that console....a failure when stacked up to the PS1 which was the new kid on the block and effectively handed Nintendo its ass

 

So when you guys say "cursed" you're just talking forum fodder and sales charts? Because the N64 was a tremendous success in the market for Nintendo. Yeah Sony might have "handed Nintendo its ass" in terms of hardware sold, but they sold at a loss to do it. Something that, over their course in the market, has not done them any favors.

Yeah, let's forget about the gameboy color and advance when nintendo had no competition on the handheld market.
