Failure is a relative term. It failed compared to its competition. A handicapped person or an old person would "win" a marathon simply be finishing. A person tthat was expected to win would be considered a failure.

That's why the Xbox 360 was considered a success. It went from a 20 something million userbase to over 80 million. It didn't take first or even second but it blew away expectations. The N64 didn't. It let an unknown in the gaming business--a Nintendo 3rd party studio--come in and dominate.

The N64 was a failure. It was like General Zod failing to kill Superman as a baby and then that baby growing up to break his neck in that terrible Man of Steel movie.

mispelled awesome

The Xbox did mediocre? Lol whatever. It launched into a Playstation controlled market and made a name for itself outselling Gamecube and creating a stepping stone for the 360.

The N64 was what confirmed the downward pattern happening for Nintendo home consoles, which the Wii U is back on the track of.

The first Xbox was a huge failure. It lost billions. I don't think any cosole has lost that much money, even PS3. 


Speaking of the PS3, how much did Sony loose on the PS3? I've been trying to find out for a while, but it's really hard. Does anyone know?

A console with GoldenEye is never a failure.

It's all in your way of looking at things. Ryan decided to call the other failures "considerable hits."

I thought that was a typo and he meant to say "considerable shits".

Whoa whoa whoa!! Calm down my friend, i'll give you Scooby snacks.

Yeah, N64 should've been outsold but... PS1 won, because of support from Capcom, Konami, Square, Enix, Tecmo & Koei. Sigh nobody cared about the " True revolutionized 3D real time render console" real shame.

I liked my N64 but overall it was an extremely meh system. It was even worse than the Wii if you weren't a huge fan of Nintendo games. Rareware really saved Nintendo's ass on the N64. I didn't give a shit about most Nintendo titles, but games like Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, and of course 007/PD really helped out.

I'm rather suprised on the number of FPSes the N64 had. Doom 64 is definitely a game I still need to pick up, along with other games: JFG, Blast Corps and Mystical Ninja starring Goemon.
