For one there's a tendency to overrate (if you will) "success". Like the thinking that NES = godlike execution because it sold well GameCube = terrible because it didn't sell well Well I mean if you gave the GameCube the same circumstances the NES had .... only Sega really to compete against (so lets remove Sony and MS) and also gave the GameCube a lock out chip that forced third parties to only make GameCube games (so now Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, TimeSplitters, are all GameCube exclusive) who doesn't think the GameCube sells at least 65 million with the same circumstances? Hell, it'd probably sell 150 million like the PS2 did. The level of competition and circumstances of the generation make a huge difference to the end result. |
Because if we go that route, we might have to admit that maybe, MAYBE Ninty isnt the be all end all in this whole video game thing. and when faced with actual competition...well you see what's been happening
