It actually worked out pretty well for Nintendo, the drop from SNES to N64 sales was pretty miniscule outside of Japan despite the massive drop in 3rd party support.

SNES sales outside of Japan=32 million

N64 sales outside of Japan=28 million

N64 & SNES software sales are also pretty even outside of Japan with a much higher percentage of sales coming from Nintendo-published titles on N64.

Over 90% of the decline from SNES to N64 happened in Japan due to the RPG & fighting markets migrating from SNES to Playstation. And since my post was specifically on how to attract a western audience, the Japanese market is irrelevant to what I was discussing.

why cherry pick sales? WW they took a hit. thats whats important. Yes becasue Ninty actually had a library that was actual diverse back then. If its irrelvevant why bring it up? I didnt bring them up. And if it really worked out for them we wouldnt even be having this discussion, if it really worked out why did they sell Rare?



Its not cherry picking, I was talking about how to improve their image in the west so the Japanese market is irrelevant to what I said. Their western focused software strategy had literally 0% to do with the decline from SNES to N64 and was 100% due to losing out on Japanese-centric genres to Sony by going with cartridges over CDs. Do u understand now?
