Nintendo was alot cooler under pressure, instead of rushing to make a console to counter Sony they decided to wait and let the SNES have a few more years of popularity. Then they released the N64 after hardware prices had gone down enough that they could release a more powerful console than PS1 for a good price. They still lost to PS1 in sales by a considerable amount, but they sold enough N64's to stay in business. If Sega had adopted a similar strategy, releasing games for Genesis, Sega CD, and Sega 32X for a few years, then releasing the Dreamcast a year early in 98, they would very likely still be around today. |
Agreed.
Sony's entry in console gaming was inevitable. It began since ken kutaragi started making audio chips for nintendo secretly. During SNES era sony was publishing games for SNES. Plus nintendos decision (usage of cartiages) was also to blame. Whatever I have seen from console gaming is two things. Be patient and make games. No more TV stuff (Its happening since 1985). But people forget these. Console makers are replaying same mistakes over and over again.
