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.


Meh true about nintendo but the PS1 was the only successful console with a CD player, you still had the Sega CD and the saturn and also the " JAGUAR" but all of which were unsuccessful but still that nintendo caused everything to fall into place MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you said something on a subject that i always wondered about(N64 not using the CD-ROM)

i ask you a question about it and then you claim that i'm irate??

 

?????

 

I just dont see why they went with Cartridges when they were originally going to go with the CD-ROM..


Check my post response to his.  The answer lies within.  They were so butthurt over the dealings during the 16 bit era that they perhaps said fuck it when it comes to CDROM for the N64.  The 64DD doubled the N64 MB capacity but was still short of the CD-ROM.  64 Cart (4-64 MB) 64DD (64 MB) so it doubled the N64 capacity. 

Sony's CD storage could hold approximately 650 megabytes (MB) of information

okay i have 1 more question about this

 

so was Sony and Phillips the only CD options Nintendo could have went with at that time??

oh wait, my bad

 

i see why you thought i was irate

 

when i said --> why do you think Nintendo went with cartridges when the others chose discs?

i was asking for your opinion of why you thought they decided to go with cartridges since you said that they would have had CD's sooner if it weren't for Sony. I wasn't saying it like "oh they were forced to go with Cartridges since they fell out with Sony "

 

i also overlooked what you put about the Phillips part in this post because it didn't say anything about why they ultimately went with cartridges

 

my bad though ;)

 

but i still dont know what made Nintendo decide that cartridges were the best choice to roll with though. I'm guessing that Nintendo just didn't want to split ANY of the profits with phillip OR Sony when it all came down to it. I guess they got almost 100% of the royalties(or whatever) with the cartridges. I guess i cant really blame Nintendo for that

 

but god damn did Nintendo own the fuck out of Sony with that Phillip reveal LMAO XD

 

i can't believe Nintendo actually did that sh!t LOL!!!!

No problem bro. Big hug.

If this thread tells us anything, it tells us that we should all get along, really.

 

But yeah, I agree Nintendo pulled a fast one, and you know what, their anger hurt them in the end. It was an era of quick big decisions for Nintendo, the era of Yamauchi, and thankfully it's over. The man did extraordinary things for the company, but his arrogance was a double-edged sword.

 

And that answers your question: Nintendo was upset, and it left a sour feeling with Yamauchi. He decided to go the opposite way from Sony, and it's been like that ever since. Iwata's done a lot to climb the uphill battle that Yamauchi created for him.

The royalties issue was settled with Phillips, so it couldn't be that (I can tell you actually want to know).

I've used a Microsoft OS since DOS, I don't get why people hate something they use daily.  I've tried the competition and they were inferior for my needs.  Anyway I use a number of their products and consider myself a fan.  I think its just accepted that's its cool to hate on the big guy. 

As for the topic, the worst of the Sony fanboys eclipse both Microsoft and Nintendo fanboys so I think they end up causing a stink that rile the other camps too often.  This is just my anecdotal opinion of course and everyone will have a different viewpoint .

Historically, you know that this is incorrect right? Rather, had it not been for the PS1, Nintendo would have been on disks much sooner.

what makes you say that?

 

why do you think Nintendo went with cartridges when the others chose discs?

The reason Playstation exists today is because Nintendo approaced them to provide the disc reader for the next Nintendo Console. When Sony wanted more part in the console They parted ways and Nintendo was forced to change plans very quickly and in many ways was forced to use their own Cartridge technology 
a third time. 

I doubt heavily Playstation would exist today if Nintendo didnt approach them.

I dont understand why?

All companies have some bad form at some stage. 

I like Microsoft. Ive had good dealings with their support teams and like their OS. I like Xbox and really like WP7 and 8. I like the direction they are taking and feel passion for them.

On the flipside I dont like how Apple treat their customers for example. They upgrade their phones and Macs way to often with no real changes. But yet charge way over the odds for their products. Yet customers love them. Id never pay the prices Apple ask in a million years for any of their products. They just arent wort it. 

I still however can appreciate ow good Ipone 1 was. And just how much it changed the Smartphone market. 

But they are a slimey company to the blind customers. Its crazy.

I love my ps3 and 360 and I don't like the wii (or Wii u) at all. But as far as fanboys go Sony fanboys are BY FAR the worst. No competition
