Never owned or even played on one but it has some really good 1st party games and for that console generation had the most popular multiplayer games, Mario Kart, Smash, Mario Party etc. Though for single player and arguably graphics and sound the PSX wopped it's ass.

PSX sold 102.5 million units world wide. The N64 sold less than 1/3 of that. The Xbox almost beat the N64 with 24 million units sold.

Mind you, Nintendo had the majority of the market in the NES era and wasn't far behind Sega in the 16-bit era. The fact that Sony was able to trounce Nintendo this badly in the 6th gen pretty much meant that the N64 was a failure.

The N64 sold 33 million, how is that "almost beating"? Also the xbox was considered a success yet people try to shit on the N64.

Sure, the N64 failed to hold onto the market. This was due to a high price point and highly delayed release, not due to how good it was. A major reason the xbox sold is because of Microsoft's marketing it as being for "mature" people (so teenage edgelords saw it as cool) and people thinking MS was about to take over the gaming industry, so it's not like Nintendo was the only one with a reputation.

Look, I had an N64. I enjoyed playing games like GoldenEye, OoT, and KI Gold.

But that doesn't change the fact that the N64 was a massive business failure for Nintendo. They lost a ton of their market share to Sony, drastically impacting their future earnings in a negative way. They lost the majority of their 3rd party software support in the process which further limited their ability to regain that market share in future console generations.

If Apple loses 50-75% of its market share with the next iPhone you better believe that everyone will call it a failure and that heads will roll at corporate.

Nintendo's business failure doesn't invalidate the fun I had as a kid playing those games and occasionally now get playing them for free on an emulator. Unfortunately, it did impact their future development into a niche console with the Wii and Switch and thus I am no longer a Nintendo consumer.

Btw, the original XBox was a massive failure as well. I don't know where you're getting your information from.

Nigga you trippin. N64 was released at $199, which was cheaper than the $250 PSX at the time.

Playstation was on shelves much longer than the N64, and it also outsold all previous Nintendo consoles, including ones from when Nintendo was a "monopoly" because it expanded the video game market. Those numbers don't mean anything without context.

I had both also, I basically played Banjo, Mario 64, some Mario Kart, some Diddy Kong Racing, some wrestling, the two Zelda games, and shit like Quest 64 and a handful of other random titles for about five minutes. All in all about four to five months of serious gameplay. I can name about 40 ps games that I played seriously at that time, gave me a full 4 years of gameplay until ps2 came out, at which point I was still mostly playing my old ps games.

The only context missing is your looking at absolute sales numbers instead of market share.

Nintendo lost almost all their market share to Sony while Sony also reached more new customers that Nintendo couldn't get... so you're further proving my point that the N64 was a business failure.

The Playstation was a few years old when the N64 got in stores. It had a few pricedrops since then and even at release it was still cheaper than the N64. Not to mention individual games, which were much more expensive on the N64 due to them being released on cartridges.
Where did you get the idea that the playstation was more expensive?

Not that it really matters by now because both consoles are cheap as dirt and it's incredibly easy to play games on them without paying being scammed by second hand sellers.

Wow, I said nothing against any of that, I agreed with it completely. You're the one confusing arguments here. I'm saying the N64 was a good console.
>Btw, the original XBox was a massive failure as well. I don't know where you're getting your information from.
No it wasn't, not except in Japan.
>Nigga you trippin. N64 was released at $199, which was cheaper than the $250 PSX at the time.
N64 was released at £250 in the UK in March 1997. This was a LOT more pricey than the PS1 at the time especially when you include the game. N64 games were about £60 while PS1 games games were about £40. Nintendo had banked on cartridge manufacture prices decreasing more than they did sooner. That was a major reason why the N64 tanked, come on bro, you lived through this (apparently, you might not have been doubled digits at the time). The $199 N64 in US in 1996 must have been selling at a huge loss, but ok that is one decent point. However I would be shocked if the PS1 was $250 at the time, without games? That's certainly nothing like it was in EU.

I think you're the one tripping bro. The PS1 was $299 at LAUNCH. You're telling me two whole years earlier, just when a major competitor was coming out, it was going for $250? wtf no it wasn't lol that's laughable. Enough with this retardation, please get your facts right more before getting in a discussion, just try to be more sure of what you're saying, not plain making shit up. oh and have fun with your N64 "emulation".

The N64 gets loose and all that, but in terms of actual precision, it's one of the best I've tried. Even loosened.
Have you tried to play a game that requires aiming with a GC controller? Or any other controller for that matter.

Why?

You don't have to believe me. The PSX was released in Sep 1995 with an MSRP of $299. The N64 was released in Sep 1996 with an MSRP of $199. In response to this, Sony lowered the price of the ONE year old PSX to $249 for the holiday season, and it still trounced Nintendo.

I don't know what the price was in the UK and I don't care to know. What I do know is that Sony was the more expensive yet popular system, although the games were on average $25-35 cheaper. You could buy 3 PSX games for every two N64 games.

It's funny how people who weren't alive at the time get so angry about this stuff.

It was very difficult for companies to get approval to develop 2D sidescrolling/platformer games on 6th gen consoles, especially when the N64 hit the shelves. Sony wanted the PSX to be known as a 3D console. Castlevania SOTN was a notable exception and it took a lot of wheeling and dealing to make that happen. There are a few other exceptions like Rayman and Mega Man, but for the most part 3D was required.

This stymied creativity and prevented developers from making beautiful 2D rendered environments in platformers. Hence it was bad for gaming. Consider that one of the best games for PSX almost didn't get made because 'muh 3D.' It was also a bit ironic because the PSX couldn't do 3D environments, it had to use pre-rendered backgrounds as a trick.

As someone who doesn't really care for horror, fighting games or most RPGs that's not much of an argument. 2D games wouldn't really add much either since it was all about 3D games, which was a pretty new thing at the time. I don't even play a lot of N64, I just think that if a console has good games and plays them well it doesn't really matter what types of genres they are; would you consider the lack of point-and-click adventure games on the Dreamcast a failure too?

Even by todays standards they cross the line into 'good enough' territory for most non autists, in so much that there are no overtly noticeable or glaring omissions / comprimises. Unlike the 16bit ports that are hobbled by missing backwards walking frames, missing moves, butchered music / sfx.

Was a real shame when Nintendo fell so hard after trying to screw Sony over, and their best rush job console effort skewed entirely away from a GIGANTIC part of what made the SNES so amazing. Ya had to buy a PSX to get that SNES feel back! Karma really is a motherfucker.

Also: another obligatory "I actually owned an N64 in the 90s" post. I did enjoy Mario Golf a LOT, Goldeneye, etc. Still, overall, objectively speaking, the console was a pale shadow of what could have been. For those coming from the SNES it was an outright bait-and-switch.

tl;dr: The N64 is a cautionary tale about what happens when you try and fuck your betters.

>Nintoddlers using /shmupgg/ buzzwords to defend their console of less than 400 games

The PS1 had EVERYTHING, not just JRPGs. Biggest library of games ever, yes, even bigger than the PS2. To put things into perspective, the Switch already has almost the same amount of games as the N64 in just a year of it's lifetime. It was the worst console Nintendo ever made bar the Wii U. Deal with it.

It was. Deal with it. Ocarina of Time, bing bing wahoo and shitty console FPS which have aged terribly do not make up for the fact that the console was severely lacking in games in general. This is literally the only reason why the N64 is remembered 'fondly' by some nostalgia-blinded faggots, because it has two or three overrated games. Gamecube at least had somewhat of a variety of games from different genres to offer.

I am a big fan of the N64, but I am also realistic that it is because of the exact reason you posted. The great games that were on the system however were outstanding. Around 1/10th of the total library is worth talking about, but how does that compare to systems like the PSX & Saturn? I am not asking that in a dickhead manner, but only because I don't know. I am realistic that my taste in vidya is not mainstream. One of the main games that I own the N64 for is NBA Hangtime and Ogre battle. I own Both zelda games, but have never played them. Quarterback Club games that supported "High resolution" looked amazing for their time as well.

Cartridges coupled with nintendo doing dumb nintendo things really scared off 3rd parties, however, even though not a top seller it was still a great system.

Nintendo is a video game system, but in itself a nintendo is its own thing. Where sony lived on 3rd party software, Nintendo's 1st party games really carried the 64.

Nintendo always did things different. Certain genres of games did much better on N64 while others were much better on other systems. Does this stop me from liking my PSX as much as the N64? Not at all. PSX was a great system as well. Sure it had "more" games, but most of the games were nothing like what was on the 64.

I bet you're too young to remember the time Sony hastily redesigned the joypad for their console HALFWAY THROUGH IT'S FUCKING LIFESPAN because Nintendo changed the way we play games forever with the N64.

The PlayStation Classic is already in bargain bins. If Nintendo announced an N64 Classic tomorrow it would sell out instantly.

>PSX sold 102.5 million units world wide. The N64 sold less than 1/3 of that.
Did you know that Sony sold 30 million PS1 consoles after the N64 was discontinued? It's because globalism had fully opened up the third world country market around the turn of the millennium. Those sales were literally nobodies for the taking before then.

>>5271584
>Also the xbox was considered a success yet people try to shit on the N64.
Going by profit/loss, the original Xbox is actually the least successful console in the history of gaming. It lost Microsoft somewhere around the realm of ~$4 billion dollars.

The reason? They were selling the hardware at an extreme loss per unit (hundreds of dollars).

>>5271731
>Nintendo lost almost all their market share to Sony while Sony also reached more new customers that Nintendo couldn't get... so you're further proving my point that the N64 was a business failure.
The only measure of business success is profit, not market share or raw units sold. That's only console war fodder.

There's some decent evidence out there which suggests the N64 was more profitable than the PS1 despite 1/3rd less sales. Due to the PS1 having an absurdly high piracy rate in third world countries the N64's attach rate isn't far behind it despite the games being so much more expensive.

Nintendo made higher profit margins on the hardware (no CD drive, more integrated motherboard than the PS1) and software (bigger cut on higher prices, higher royalty rates) than Sony did.

It's generally understood what soembody means when they say "has no RPGs" it means a severe lack of, not literally meaning "there is 0 RPGs on the system." I'm sure you understood already, it's well understood this is how people normally communicate, and you're purposely being obtuse to win internet points.

This is just patently untrue.

Market share = growth = higher stock valuation = more money for shareholders.

Do you think Amazon is less successful than [insert small business here] because its profit margin is 3.8 percent? By the way, Amazon would take losses throughout most of the early 2000s.

For large companies like Nintendo and Sony, it is ALL about market share and GROSS revenue. That's how increase your valuation and ensure longevity.

THAT is why MS was willing to take losses on the XBox - their strategy was to attempt to gain market share at the expense of short-term operating profits.

Nintendo still has higher long-term profits than SCE so I don’t see your point even if you want to talk about the long-term.

Also Amazon sells more than one product. We’re just talking about the one here - N64. And how do you seperate out the success of the Xbox and Xbox 360 with your dumb definitions?

Market share gets you almost nothing with successor consoles. Look how many console FPS players abandoned Nintendo for the Xbox. How many people bought PS3 at launch again? Or Wii Us?
