It was a failure in the sense that its library was pretty mediocre. Every single game people talked about in this thread were made by Nintendo or Rare. That's no coincidence, those were the only two places you could get hype for the system. Not to mention, the console was useless for certain genres (RPGs, fighting games...)
I too have no idea why it's a console held in such high regard. The only reason people say it's a GOOD console (or, even worse, better than the PS1) is because of nostalgia.
