Man I love Tom Kalinske. Such a cool cat.

Se lets recap:

1. Sega talked to SGI first and turned them down, hence they went to nintendo to make n64
2. Sega talked to Sony after they parted ways with nintendo and they agreed on a joint console idea, but Sega of Japan turned them down
3. Sega talked to 3DO for a console but turned them down
4. Sega talked to Virtual Boy people as well but turned them down also

Sega then released the mess that was the Saturn.

1) Thats unlucky. N64 turned out great for nintendo.

 

In what way? Yes, there are some legendary games on the N64 but, from a business standpoint, it got MURDERED. And when I say murdered, I mean it. It lost by 70 million units and is responsible for Nintendo's first WW lose in home consoles. It literally signifies the end of Nintendo's reign.

I don't think it turned out great at all.
