The Wiimote created unique experience for some games, but for the most part it controlled like a mouse pointer. I could argue Kinect and Move also created unique experiences, but their impact on gaming hasn't been signficant.

If Wiimote was something "true gamers" dreamed of then the Wii would have sold better to core audiences and Nintendo would have continued pushing it.

I wouldn't say a "crisis" per se, but it definitely wouldn't be as strong.

So you never played games like Alundra, symphony of the night, Klonoa, Breath of Fire 3, Point Blank, Ridge Racer 4, Ace Combat, Silent Hill? The PS1 has tons of games who aged very well and a lot more games you havent even played yet for sure. The N64s library is pretty boring as a whole, 40% of its 400 game library are sports games, espacially for guys like me who dont like nintendo franchises in general this console.

The only reason why i bought and still keeping my N64 is to play the best console version of hexen and the only console version of starcraft, both games are some of the very view 2D sprites based games on this console by the way. But other than that i have zero interests in the other games you have mentioned. So perception is relative.

You mean "another" on top of the current one, right?

Symphony of the Night looks uglier than a SNES game if you ask me (Super Mario World 2 for instance). As for the other games, I either never heard of them or simply don't care. I have an anxiety disorder, so I avoid games with jumpscares like the bubonic plague (i.e. Silent Hill). Those PS1 horror games aged like crap anyway.

What I said in my post was true, the N64 classics are still often brought up, the PS1 classics much less so.

40% of the N64 library are sports games? If you say so, lol.

Perception is indeed relative, but that doesn't change the fact that many people consider the games I listed as classics still to this day.

If I wanted to play 2D sprite games, I'd get a SNES or GBA anyway. The N64 was the era of 3D games and that's what I'm going to rate it for.

And I was a little kid during the PS1 days, so I had no control over what games I got to play. But my friend had a modded PS1 to allow for pirated games, so I got to play a huge chunk of the library. I only mentioned the games I still have (fond) memories of.

Selective memory right there.

Games like Crash, Spyro, FF VII, Tekken 3, Legend of Dragoon, Medievil, Abe's Odysee, and Tomba are brought up all the time. But if you spend most of your time on Ninty forums or forums in which Ninty fans are very active, you're most likely gonna get that impression.

In my opinion, both n64 and ps1 games look terrible, while Nes games still look ok/good.

Who on earth still talks about Tomba? I only know him because of the Completionist. Tomba and Medievil aren't even good at all.

The first 3 games you mentioned were the ones I mentioned as exception.

And I do go to forums where the Sony fanbase is big. And I also read the Sony discussions on this forum.

What I mean by "we have established" is that him and I agree that the console market was likely to continue to grow with or without Playstation. Obviously we have clue what would have happened without Playstation, but there is nothing that suggests a "crisis" would happen since the American & Japanese console market was very healthy at the time. I'll give Playstation credit where credit is due, they made console gaming mainstream in Europe and developing countries, but they did not in America/Japan as gaming was already mainstream by then.

This, and we could also say that Sony and MS too, and even Ninty itself filled market spaces left vacant by previous console companies. Anyway, when too many gaming companies, or even a few ones, but representing a large and important part of the market, fail, crises usually happen, and Sony and MS failure would mean a big crisis. Sure, later their place would be taken over by other companies, but it would take time, meanwhile PC and mobiles would fill the void. Ninty could grab part of that space, but not all, besides catering well for part of the market and no so well for other parts, grabbing all would require to grow too much, Ninty likes to grow, but it wants to remain nimble enough to avoid being crushed by its own weight should its sales shrink so much to not be able to support a bloated company.

Tons of people. You obviously haven't noticed because you haven't played/don't like the game. I assume you like certain Ninty games and thus when you see someone mentioning them, you notice it.

Tomba was brilliant and so was Medievil.
