I would easily trade Sony for SNK or Sega. The PS1's best games weren't even thanks to Sony. Crash and Spyro were Naughty Dog and Insomniac, Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, qnd Tactics were Square, Metal Gear Solid was Konami. all of those big hitter titles could reasonably exist without input from Sony, though it would be fucking strange to have FF7 on N64 and MGS on the 3DO.

No. I'd be fine with smiting modern Nintendo but they produced a lot of good stuff from the NES to the Gamecube. The best outcome would be if modern Nintendo died and their classic IPs were auctioned off and ported to PC. None of their new shit is worth playing, so the only thing they have that's worth anything is the rights to their old games.

Atari never did anything really good, with shitty business politics and mangament, fucked so much so many times it was justice.
Snk made one machine, made itself a niche compagny and never archieved to adapt to the evolution of the market, the only good shot they did to not die by their nature was the Neo Geo Pocket, happened too late and died. Then it became the Saint Seiya compagny, forever dying and coming back.
Sega was a Japanese-american compagny, and the first thing that did when it started having more succes in the USA over Japan instead of Europe+Brazil was to start a civil war with itself till it killed itself. Very deserved.
Nec didn't even existed for me.

Absolutely nonsense. Nintendo had a good range of 1st party games on SNES in many genres. Also Rare was basically 2nd party bringing in another excellent line of platformers plus some other genres like fighting games, which Nintendo didn't make themselves.
Not even comparable to Sony.

Sega and SNK were always arcade guys who dabbled in home consoles on the side. Sega just got very lucky with the Genesis and managed to be one of the few who could throw hands with Nintendo for a couple of years.

>> No.7147708

Atari was able to sue sega for some nonsense, seemed like they were a bit of scummy company towards the end. Their systems and games felt more grittier compared to others, they could have been too far ahead of their time.

I don't feel that nec cared that much about video games but they made the gpu for dreamcast and cpu for n64.

snk was kind of stuck, they couldn't really just keep making 16 bit style games but they just kept trying to release their old games. The neo geo 64 looked barely more powerful than the ps1. Would have been a lot better if they made more non fighting games like last resort.

Sega I feel is the one who really got the shit end of the stick. I really think they put everything they could into the saturn. They made some bad decisions but the hardware didn't deserve the fate it got. They put all these extra chips in as a way to compete with the ps1 but also as a way to be a bit more futureproof and assumed the manufacturing cost would decrease quickly. At the end of the genesis you had some real crackers at the end but with saturn you could sort of see they couldn't made that many each year.
I blame the public for being suckered into advertising, they failed despite making great games, when they made their own hardware they could afford to make risks but when your paying license fees to others it might just not be worth it. Had sega still made consoles, there would have been more games like outrun 2.

What I mean to say is that knowing how things turned out, I would gladly trade the saturn being sucessful vs the ps1.

Sega yes because they were retarded at making hardware and completely fucked up with the 32x, segacd, and saturn. The Dreamcast COULD have been their saving grace but they gave up before it could reach profitability.

NEC deserved to die because who the fuck even liked the PC engine?

Atari I do feel bad for them dying out but then again they did not QC for their software and ended up crashing the entire industry because of it. The ST was a great attempt at a comeback but obviously Commodore was superior in every way so they got outclassed for gaming.

SNK did not deserve to die either but then again their entire concept/IPs were really outdated and did not make the transition to the millenial consoles well at all.
