Gee I wonder why the PlayStation sold more than the N64.

Yes, in hindsight Saturn and N64 were flawed systems and the PlayStation was right with the perfect balance of CD media, power and low price. But you're looking at it with 2018 eyes, and not an exec in the mid 90's. Ninty was suspicious of CDs because they'd have to pay someone to use them, and they would make piracy easy.

Sega and especially Nintendo were convinced they were top dogs that couldn't be toppled. They forgot that it's primarily the games, and the games rest on good hardware. Ironically, the same happened with Sony after the PS1-PS2 ramped up their ego and they stumbled with the flawed PS3.

Heh, epic pwn my fellow hardcore gamer. It truly is amazing how many people on this board have yet to realize that everything Nintendo does, Sony does better. They aren’t true intellectuals like you or I. *chuckles softly*
Why are Nintentoddlers allowed on this board? They're a fucking embarrassment and make real mature gamers like me look bad for even occupying the same board as me.

>b-but Nintendo excelled at making platformers!

Bullshit, Nintendo didn't excel at one god damn thing. I take that back, actually. They excel at one thing. Nintendo excels at being for bing bing wahoo babies and manchildren who run away when they see blood because they are immature babyfags and can't handle a deep, dark, serious game like I can. Sega and Sony had games that reflected the inner darkness of my soul from having two Christmases since my parents were divorced, while Nintendo did kiddy shit because nintentoddlers are fucking babies who never had to rough it in high school like real people, like me, who had to deal with bullies and preppy douchebags since they didn't understand my real power...

Can we just talk about Ranma? The basis for this thread is trash.

I recently picked up all 38 volumes of the Japanese manga at my local 2nd and Charles, finally finished up reading it. I wanted to finish it with physical JP copies, feels like I just finished a childhood goal.

It was okay. Not as good as the Sailor Moon RPG but way better than the Tenchi Muyou one.

>>5210865
Same. They had a temporary cafe opened in Japan for it I believe, but it wasn't open for very long. Would have really loved to have gone.

Is Rinne any good, her newer series? I haven't heard much about it.

You actually think the PS1 or PS2 hardware was anywhere near as good as the competition? You dumb fuck. Isn't it school time for you kids? In what retard level of mental gymnastics was the PS2 as capable as the cube or xbox? The PS1 I am sure was also as capable as the 64 with literally a 3rd of the cpu/gpu.

There were $5 ps1 games. Sony constantly had games at pricing from $5-20, niggers could afford that, you nigger. You couldn't afford a $40+ minimum cart.

You sound autistic, but autistic people would know fact from made up shit. You are much worse.

Really?
>Originally (the Nitendo 64) intended to be priced at US$250, the console was ultimately launched at US$199.99 to make it competitive with Sony and Sega offerings, as both the Saturn and PlayStation had been lowered to $199.99 earlier that summer. Nintendo priced the console as an impulse purchase, a strategy from the toy industry.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 12:14:22 2018 No.5213692 >>5210640 I mean... yes. Those sure are historical observations of reasons why N64 failed. In the end, it boils down to Nintendo losing a handle on the trends of the era, aside from FPS games.

No, you fucking idiot.
N64 had extremely limited and expensive cartridges, and Saturn had two processors that made it impossible to program. They were inconvenient to DEVELOPERS.

It was *developers* who decided to support Playstation, because Playstation was easy to code for and could be done on regular IBM PC, and CDs could store a ton of textures and were cheap as fuck to print.

Sega and Nintendo forgot that games make the system, not the hardware specs. If you have a system that has superior hardware, but nobody will develop games for it - you already lost. N64 and Saturn were Amiga of the fifth generation - technically superior, but with mediocre software library.
