Haven't watched the video yet (I've actually been subscribed to him for about 4 years, but I saw the length on it and thought yeah, fuck that noise), but Nintendo haven't truly done this since the SNES. 4 generations of cutting corners in some form or another would be a hell of a rap sheet to clear.

So you are another one of those guys who has subscribed to the myth that the 1.5GB discs of the GC were a serious obstacle. Please tell me that you at least don't believe that third parties shunned the GC because of its color.

Myth? The entire system was designed upon Nintendo's own convenience, it collectively goes way further than that. If I was better at making charts here I'd elaborate on what I mean. Granted the mini-DVD was better at handling compression than say, the Dreamcast GD-ROM, but more often that not it'd all be a trivia just see how the game would turn out on GC.

 

And to some extent, (even though the system launched in Purple and Black, and was first revealed in multiple colors, I don't get where the notion comes from that it had a primary color) that probably did have something to do with it, good luck trying to explain to the average Joe that "the fruity lunch box" was architecturally more powerful than the PS2 when it's best initial games were Melee, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, and Luigi's Mansion. Hardly ideal settings for demonstrating the system's full potential.
