| DarthMetalliCube said: I think the cartridge factor is pretty overrated when it comes to the N64's relative floundering compared to PS1. I think the weird controller played a role, the lack of diversity in and quantity of the library, and the fact that EVERYTHING had to be 3D just about played a significant role. Though I suppose you could make the argument that the console would have had more third party support (and thus more games) if Nintendo adopted the CD format. Still, ultimately the games are what matter, not so much the media. |
That makes no sense. The media matters when it prevents likely hundreds of games from being on the platform.
If Nintendo had used CD-ROM the N64 would not have had any droughts and likely doesn't lose Squaresoft or Enix as there isn't much incentive for them to leave.
Sony has no chance if they weren't allowed to basically poach all of Nintendo's NES/SNES support and that only happens because of the format choice.
