which console did N64 users move onto?

I'm willing to bet a huge chunk of then either never played games again. It was a party game console. "The fun machine". And, aside from a rare occasion with Gears of War and Dance Central, the last time anybody ever wanted to hang out with me and just play games.

 

Those i remember just kinda..... grew up.  It's depressing, actually. I just made myself sad.

I hope that was a sarcastic post! N64 was a great console to just play with friends on a wet n windy day though

Seriously!

So many people played GoldenEye together.  Mario Kart. Star Fox.  Quake.  It was the thing to do in the 90's.  Grab three friends and play N64 all night.  Even the box called it " The fun machine".  But, as I said, when the console died, so did a lot of those good times.  Look at your ps2 and your Gamecube.  They were mostly offline single player experiences.  Halo and Halo 2 filled a void but (aside from no one actually owning an xbox) online hadn't taken off yet.  That "party gamer"--that casual gamer may have just stopped gaming.

I'm just speaking from personal experience, though.  I'm probably wrong.  I just know that, of my circle of gamers, hardly any of them game these days...... or they hate me.
