Did Nintendo screw us?

I remember the N64. Nintendo said they would raise the quality of 3rd party releases and i don't think 3rd party developers liked being told what could and couldn't be released. Which is why the PS did so well with 3rd party software.

 

Well, that's part right, but there are many reasons why the psx did so well with 3rd party support. The psx had a year and a half start, games where easier/quicker to design for the psx, the disks allowed for improved sound/cg. The psx reflected the future and the n64 reflected the past.

 

And it would take dozens of discs to cost as much as one cart. That was likely the biggest factor.
