Lets not forget that if it wasnt for nintendo the playstation wouldnt have been created .... (gasp) IT'S NINTENDO THAT STARTED IT ALL

FUUUUUUUU


As if Nintendo was the first console ever LOL! And if it wasn't for PS1/PS2 your games would still be on cartridges instead of discs.

I'm going to ignore just how unrealistic that statement is to say:

How would that be a bad thing? Cartridges rocks!

Ahem... there were a LOT of CD systems before the PS1 hit.

That was directed at Turkish btw.

Remember Wii60?

Ah yes, and who can forget gems like this..


Those were good times. I miss the Wii60 movement, led by the former MS great Peter Moore.

By "everything" I am talking about all the third party devs that made the Genesis popular. Sony's Playstation became THE 3rd party platform. Publishers could make all their money on Playstation without having to port to anything. If the Playstation never existed the 32bit gen would have looked a lot like the 50/50 split of the 16bit gen.

but weren't most of those 3rd party games also available on Nintendo aswell though?

 

I always thought that Saturn failed because of the hardware compared to the PlayStation.


Look up the fall of Sega and you will find theres line of reasons from  internal instability to stability to the launch of the Saturn to relationships with retailers and third party as to why Sega had issues with the Saturn, scrapped it and eventually fell after the Dreamcast. Hardware was only one of the reasons but for the major part they fixed most of the issues with the Dreamcast outside of the piracy issue.

You still don't get it.

It doesn't matter if the retialers were pissed off! It doesn't matter if the Saturn was hard to program! If the PSX didn't exist, third parties would have HAD to make games for the Saturn if they wanted to make CD based console games, thus it would have sold better and retailers would have HAD to stock it. Hell, the PSX is the reason why Sega did the early launch, so no PSX, no pissed off retailers. What will it take for you to get it through your head?


Incorrect, if the PSX didnt exist Nintendo would've STILL had a stranglehold on third parties and Sega still would've struggled. Sega failed of their own issues, not because of the competition. Sega Japans biggest offense was not allowing a larger entity to buy them out and fund their hardware development. Sony didnt take third parties from Sega....they ended Nintendos dominant hold on third party. 32X was a mistake, the Saturn was a failure and the Dreamcast though one of my favorite consoles was sadly doomed to fail. It was just one mistake after another. The only bright spot Sega has outside of the objective greatness that was the Dreamcast was the Genesis which was their only majorly successful console.

P.S.

You're correct about Sega jumping the gun and launching the Saturn on short notice to limited retailers to beat Sony to the market though.

I like them. I see them as my allies.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Bold part is where you are fundementally wrong. Nintendo only had the stranglehold on third parties during the NES days. Sega had great third party support during the 16-bit days, and that support would have likely increased if Saturn was the only viable CD based console.

No, Nintendo built relationships with third parties during the NES days, they gained dominance during the SNES days. If the Sony hadn't come all of the top JRPG's would've gone to Nintendo instead of people choosing Sony's format over the old cartridge, even though it was 64 bit. This is why Final Fantasy, Metal Gear and a lot of Capcom titles went to Sony instead of the 64. Nintendo always held down Segas third party and half of it they did themselves.

So all the third party games on the Megadrive doesn't exist?

You're not being realistic here.
