Stop calling the N64 a failure! It outsold every Sega system and the original Xbox!!!!

I loved the N64, but the reason it was possibly the most colossal failure for Nintendo was simply due to the fact that it opened the way for Sony to enter the market.

If Nintendo had not been stingy with cartridges and broken the contract it had with Sony to make its next console have a disc drive, they would not have nearly as much competition today.
