It's because you're part of the Retrocore crowd ;>

If the Nintendo 64 looked like it does in the OP it would have sold more.

I agree........that looks so cool.



Wii should get there pretty soon.  I am still baffled at the continued success.  I know in America 80% of Americans polled claim to be Christian.  So if Nintendo has started going after that 80% of Americans then they could see some amazing success.  PS2 had games like The BIBLE Game, and Larryboy that appealed to the 80%, but had already been doing really well.  I keep feeling like there is a piece of data missing from the equation.  Maybe the major non-gaming media outlets being so supportive of the Wii, and PS2.



Did you just suggest that somehow US console success is correlated to the US Christian population? Are these the people, not all mind you, that want to get rid of video games?

Don't say that, I started with Sega Genesis and if your saying that N64 is retro, that makes me OLD, and I'm not ready to be old dang it.

@TWRoO: The reason for Sony changing the method was purely financial (or to be more specific, to make them look better).
When financial statements say that X number of units are being manufactured, they've being "paid" by Sony and the investments (what it cost to produce them) are counted into the financials.
When the financial statements say how many of them have been sold (as shipped, as we use the word), the manufacturing costs of the units in the warehouse isn't count in the numbers, but this includes shipping costs for all of the units in question.

So, let's assume that the moment Sony changed their reporting methods, there were 2M PS2:s and 2M PS3 in the warehouse unsold.
Let's assume that manufacturing costs were 50 per PS2 and 500 per PS3.
This would mean that without making the change in reporting, Sony would have reported 1,1B more loss that quarter.
