N64 Was A Sales Beast And Should Have Won Its Generation

Saturn has 600 games and most of them fantastic. In terms of library it was a far better system than N64 and deserved better sales but Sega of Japan turning down SEGA of America's deal to partner with Sony backfired badly. (PS1 used the specs SOA wanted). N64 is a good console no doubt with some absolute classics. Thing is Had only about 200 games and was severely lacking in Fighting games,RPGs and shmups which at the time were huge. Saturn and PS1 kinda had everything but PS1 had more than Saturn and bigger named like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear plus the better ports of Tomb Raider,CSOTN and Resident Evil. Honestly N64 I do like it a lot but it's in 3rd place for library that gen.

Exactly, though this never should have been the case. N64 should have had lots of fighting games and RPGs, just like the Super NES before it. 

I wish I could go back in time to meeting where Nintendo decided on cartridge only and slap some sense into whoever thought that was a good idea.
