The Nintendo 64 is arguably the worst 5th gen console. It's way worse than Playstation and also worse than Saturn. Yet for some reason it has the most nostalgia out of all the 5th gen consoles. Despite it being a commercial flop for Nintendo and it's library of games having not aged well.
So why especially millenials are so nostalgic for this overrated console that was the worst of it's generation?
Because it had one super mario game
Because Nintendo is the apple of video games and has a loyal fanbase that any company would kill to have.
Zoomer children don't give 2 shits about Nintendo. 30 y/o mamchildren with disposable income support Nintendo.
I was a child without much brand loyalty. N64 is what made me into a man child. Mario, Zelda and Banjo were the best games of that generation. Most people were poor so they missed out
Too bad Banjo was never good, rendering you point moot by lumping that shit in with actually good games.
Contrarianism does not make you cool.
>when you're such an annoying piece of shit you get banned from /vr/ for making daily anti-n64 threads
saturn sucks btw
The N64 was not a flop. It sold better than any Sega console ever made.
anon, nobody would have known that the N64 would be nintendo's first failure. they would have purchased it blind, believing it to be the next SNES. to understand how badly the N64 fricked up, you have to look at the Gamecube, which sold less than the Xbox and was nintendo's second worst mainline console, only outperforming the Wii U that killed nintendo's console line. the gamecube itself was not a bad console, but nobody had faith in it because they got burned buying an N64. which, incidentally, is precisely how sega killed the Dreamcast long before it was released.
Yeah 5th gen is really about how the two big console makers fricked up really really badly during that gen. Only Nintendo didn't frick up as badly as Sega which is why they still make hardware.
Nintendo had other successes concurrently (Game Boy) and in the past (NES) so they could take a few failures in stride. Sega couldn't afford to run a failing business for as long.
>s-sega was going strong otherwise! N64 was a massive flop!!!
N64 outsold every sega console ever made
Nintendo was carried extremely hard by their handhelds. That's arguably still true right now and even when the Wii was a cultural phenomenon the DS was still doing better.
>First console that got "3D" right.
Ocarina of time was just that good.
Because it had actual games unlike PS1
PS1 had Gran Turismo. I would have still bought it even if that was the only game it had.
4 player localized multiplayer means you spent a lot of time playing games with your bros, and even shitty games with your bros is a lot of fun and gives you fond memories. meanwhile ps1 gays were playing 80 hour jrpgs by themselves. which, i guess is fun. but really, you gonna remember every dumb book you read as a child? because thats what jrpgs basically are, long ass books with moving pictures.
there were some cool games on the playstation, and it did have some multiplayer games but most of them were 2 players max. So maybe you played multiplayer with a family member, or maybe you only had a few friends so 1 kid would come over and play with you. But nintendo supported 4 person multiplayer out of the box. the whole family/gang could play and have tons of fun together.
Weirdos who even knew what a “JRPG” was as a kid will sperg out about this, convinced their lack of friends as a kid is a virtue. Pathetic.
>also worse than Saturn.
Ah yes, who could forget such classics such as Capcom psx port #2675 and Capcom psx port #3653. Amazing machine.
The only reason SNES sold any units in Europe was because it had Street Fighter 2 first. Yet N64 had 0 Street Fighter games.
>Was a popular system in America
>supported 4 controller multiplayer right out of the box unlike the PS1
>no moving parts so it lasts longer
>cartridges also lasted longer than discs
>Nintendo constantly rereleases their classics which helps keeps them in the public memory
That’s why.
People understate just how important the multiplayer is for fun and nostalgia.
I had a PS1 as a kid and definitely put hundreds of hours into many games but honestly I have more memories of playing N64 at friend's houses. The majority of the PS1 stuff is a forgettable blur.
It had better games than other 5th gen consoles
Such as? Super Mario 64? Super Mario 64 with monkeys? Super Mario 64 with bears? Super Mario 64 with a swearing squirrel?
Don't worry about it
The monkey game was complete shit. Banjo was nothing like mario. Also you forgot green mario with a sword and paper mario, mario in space with friends. 64 was better than Dreamcast which only had Sonic, saturn had no games. Playstation 1 had shovelware for poorgays
its games are more unique. playstation became the direction videogames headed toward so today we have much better versions of playstation games. n64 became a dead branch and games have a lot more individuality to them because they didn't all get 1,000 clones with improved hardware
Because all the most refined games and groundbreaking content was almost all on n64.
The ps1 had lots of good games but almost all of them were just transitions from snes games with very similar mechanics but with higher production values, and the games that were fully 3d were clunky as hell.
Because even if you didn't own one, you probably knew someone who did and you'd play some multiplayer games at their house and it was a good time.
That's where the nostalgia comes from, it sold like shit and had barely any singleplayer games worth playing, which is why speedrunning became popular because people kept playing OoT and Mario 64 over and over again. But it had very good multiplayer titles and it reminds people of better times when they had fun with all their friends as a kid.
Die, normalgay.
Maybe in USA but anywhere else your chances of knowing someone who had one lower quite a bt.
that's true, the americas carried the n64 hard. the n64 losing to the saturn in japan is so crazy to me.
>total 6%
Yep.
Best Mario and best Zelda game of all time. That's 2 more games than PlayStation.
With the PlayStation everyone played different games. Spyro, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, G-Police, Kurushi, Pandemonium, Pac-Man World.... even fricking Gex sold millions of copies on the PlayStation and when the hell do you ever hear about Gex?
Meanwhile on the N64 everyone played the same dozen games. Mario, Banjo, Goldeneye... N64 only had less than 300 games released in US of which a third are sports games and another third are the worst versions of multiplatform titles. Of the remaining 100 very few are good, worth talking about or sold well.
So of course the N64 has different nostalgia. N64 symbolises the few games worth talking about that it has whereas the PlayStation was merely a tool used to play its titles.
So what you are saying is that PS was a shovelware machine and Nintendo made the best games.
64 kids were a special breed. They could have 4 games an entire generation and not get bored with them. They could unironically sit and play Goldeneye 4 player splitscreen on a tiny ass tv with blurry graphics and 10 fps for years without getting bored. Whenever I came home to a 64 kid I always knew what 3-5 games they would have. And the second controller you got to use would always have that half broken half flaccid wiggling middle joystick. Meanwhile we PSX and PC gamers got new amazing games every month or every other month. Go home to a PSX kid and he'd have over 10+ games and he almost always had some hidden gem you'd never heard of before that was fun as hell. Then you went over to the 64 kid again and you went "Yaay... Golden eye, again...", "oh sweet... Smash for the millionth time..."
64 babbies all have the exact same memories because they played the exact same game. If a 64 kid was REALLY radical he had Quest 64 or Shadowman or some shit. Otherwise 99% had the exact same games they played over and over and over again for an entire generation.
>Go home to a PSX kid and he'd have over 10+ games and he almost always had some hidden gem you'd never heard of before that was fun as hell
Coming over to someone and play new and fresh PSX "shovelware" instead of playing Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Smash, Goldeneye or Perfect Dark for the millionth time with flaccid joysticks was a god damn blessing. Whenever I went to their tv and saw that N64 console with those 4 grey cartridges plus that golden one I always let out a sigh and dreamed of checking out a bundle of PSX games instead. It's like trying to explain this to a up-his-own-ass movie fan that only wants to watch Citizen Kane and 3-4 other classic movies over and over and over again. I mean Citizen Kane is a classic but come the frick on. Sometimes you just want a sloppy horror flick or a dumb comedy. But N64 fans can't understand this concept. They'll keep mumbling b-but ocarina of time... b-but shovelware...
>n64 fans are so used to quality they won't settle for anything less than the best
Holy chad.
and they only liked the "hidden gems" because they played for 20 minutes before never touching it again
Probably also because N64 games were twice as expensive as PS1 games due to Nintendo's moronic move to stick with cartridges.

Why does a failed console cause this much ass pain?
>gigachad64
Bro it is laughable, goldeneye 64 multiplayer with rockets only, gaming with friends in the 90s is abeet dream to them.
I don't know why snoys can't be content by selling 4x as many consoles.
Star Fox 64 will always be one of my favorites. Absolutely love the crunchy 5th gen violence, music, dialogue, it's all so good.
>I don't know why snoys can't be content by selling 4x as many consoles.
It's called mindbreak.
It's not called anything, nobody actually cares about console wars bullshit from 1997. Until the current bubble you could buy both for the price of a carton of beer and a lot of half a dozen other classic consoles with the change.
And back in the day console wars shit was pure marketing nonsense anyway, you'd only have one but you'd play the others at your friends' houses or just swap em now and then.
I have no idea why anybody participates in the most tired form of bait thread.
They were boring for a decade before we even called em bait
>It's not called anything, nobody actually cares about console wars bullshit from 1997
7,830 N64 hate threads later...
It was most succesful in America. The internet was created by americans and you probably use american owned websites.
>ywn have sleep over with youre cousins playing smash bros, blitz and monopoly until 5 am
damn, shit sucks.
>you probably use american owned websites
nope, and Ganker is not one of them
The N64 is a very rare type of console in that if you had a friend with one, it was almost as good as owning one yourself. You played the majority of the good games other than Zelda and Mario because they were all multiplayer. No other console let you experience the majority of the must play titles in its library without having to own one yourself.
I actually can't think of another console where that was the case
it was only $200 when it was brand new so all the world's poors had one
>ps1 had an entire legion of third worlders burning games
>not the poorgay console
kek this, i had a filipino friend and when he visited his family he bought like the entire ps1 library for 10 US dollars
literally no one who had both a ps1 and n64 preferred the n64. it had 3 top tier games and nothing else, whereas the ps1 had about like 100 good games. there were entire genres missing from the n64
>literally no one who had both a ps1 and n64 preferred the n64
Most normal people did
I had both consoles as a kid and OOT and MM are my fav video games but overall I liked the PS1 more for variety. Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy and Resident Evil and Crash Bandicout and GTA and Tekken and a bunch of other random games. On N64 I loved both zelda games and mario 64 and starfox and James Bond but thats it really.
>Why does the worst 5th gen console have the most nostalgia?
This question can be answered when you come to understand what species this controller was made for (*hint*, not humans).
Left hand on middle prong, right hand on the right prong. If 10 year olds figured this shit out so can you.
vortigaunts need to frick off
Reddit moment
They should have just removed the z trigger and copy Saturn's controller design.
>2D game
>you hold the left for d-pad and L button
>3D game
>you hold the middle for stick and Z button
i don't know how that's hard of concept for you to get. you're the type of person who would held the left and extend your thump for stick for 3D games.
I'm still amazed to this day about the people who complain about this controller. Feels like they never used it.
its shit for general purpose gaming. its only good for games like mario 64 where it really shines.
How so? It's fine, it just has an extra appendage on the side
The material of the analog is garbage that blisters your thumb, but what everyone always complains about is the shape
Yeh, stick material sucks
That analog stick especially as they get older really fricking sucks. It was an experiemental controller that didn't stood the test of time unlike Dualshock which is still the main influence controllers to this day use.
>main influence
>only sony uses it
Ok
Are you trying to argue that switch pro controller and xbox controllers aren't just the Dualshock with the analog sticks in different place?
You are really being a contrarian if you claim that Dualshock isn't the main inspiration for modern controllers.
>Are you trying to argue that switch pro controller and xbox controllers aren't just the Dualshock with the analog sticks in the correct place
Fixed
This snoy troony will argue for hours about the Playstation controller being a revolutionary design every thing made post 1997 uses despite it being an SNES controller knock off. He has done it before and will do it again.
Goat controller is what made ps good
If you are comparing controllers with the N64 then you are showing the wrong Snoy controller. The original PS1 controller didn't have analog sticks because Nintendo pretty much invented that shit with the N64.
I agree though, the n64's analog stick was a piece of shit and even more of a ripoff then they switch joycons. Those analogs would become so loose and floppy from games like mario party, was fricking awful.
Dualschock came out midway in it's life true. But besides invention of controls for video games, game and watch controlrs and maybe the SNES controller it's the most influential controller design ever made.
It's a low barrier of entry insult for people grasping for flaws. The real bad part was the durability of the stick. Regardless it was the best 3D console controller ever when it launched.
Nah. Saturn 3d controller which was much better 3d controller was out for couple months before N64 was launched..... not that many people really cared.
Other way around. N64 preceded the Saturn 3D pad and Sega themselves acknowledged that it's concept was based on the N64 controller. N64's controller is why every console manufacturer dropped their main controller mid generation for analog stick variations
Yeah looked it up. Saturn 3d pad beat N64 to Europe and USA. But was released 1 month after N64 in Japan. It was 100% being made before N64 launched because how in the hell could they have created that controller in less than a month? But Sega probably saw N64 promotional images and made a better controller themselves.
The N64 design was shown off a long time before it released
The top of that analog looks a lot nicer than the one we got. I wonder why they changed it.
>Saturn 3d pad beat N64 to Europe and USA. But was released 1 month after N64 in Japan
That's a fricking moronic way of saying "the N64 controller was first, but not in every region"
How is it the worst? The Sega console was the worst.
Maybe if you only play the western releases. But once you include the Japanese stuff (which was most of Saturns games) you see that Saturn is better than N64.
The Japanese Saturn library being good is one of the biggest gaming myths ever told.
You're viewing the N64 from the perspective of an adult in the modern era, not as a kid in the 90s.
> was the worst of it's generation
It had some incredible games.
PS1 also had some great games.
Saturn nobody gives a shit about, not sure why you're bringing it up.
>4 friends
>parents away for the weekend
>somehow managed to get booze
>mario kart 64
>goldeneye
>duke nukem 64
>anything else that was 4 player
during this era nothing came close to this feeling unless you setup lan parties using pentium II MMX machines and lugging all the equipment through the street.
I'm in my 30s and never felt any loyalty to any company. I had consoles from nintendo, sega and sony growing up. If I had any bias it would be to say I don't care about xbox at all.
Me being around 10 with it being the console with 4 players was pretty fricking amazing. Playing with friends was fun. I want to go back to a simplier time than online bullshit brought about with the xbox live.
Playstation was more for an older crowd. It was either single player shit or fighting games.
Everyone had a PC and downloaded the half life mod counter-strike, plays starcraft/warcraft/diablo or age of empire. They also had roms for the snes so people traded their old cosoles away and games only to want to buy them back at insane prices.
I think it's partially that there were so few games so people played what they did have to death. I put dozens of hours into things like snowboard kids and chameleon twist, which just wouldn't happen today with so much competition.
You're on a Nintendo marketing site right now my dude. See ya in 3 days.
The N64 library was on par with that of the Jaguar and 3DO but we can't say that here because, right Abib?
>so deranged he starts blatantly samegayging in his own thread
Get help
>and also worse than Saturn
Gee, I wonder who could be behind this post.
The N64 was literally the first "no games" system.
> Mario 64, 2 Zelda games that are still called the best games of all time, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, a bunch of great shit by Rare (Banjo, Conker, JFG, etc), Goldeneye, Kirby, and more. All exclusive.
U wot
>Mario 64
yes
>2 Zelda games that are still called the best games of all time
theyre only called that by people who first started playing the series on the n64 due to brand recognition. whoa dude, its like, zelda! its gotta be awesome! meanwhile, real zelda fans hated the games and left which is why it is now the de facto series for women.
>Paper Mario
no
>Mario Kart
yes

How many mindbroke snoy schizos do we have on this board? Seriously can't you guys ever just shut the frick up about nintendo for 5 seconds?
Stop shaming schizos. They can't help it.
It's a serious illness.
Ask 100 people to name their top 5 PS1 games. You won't hear anyone name the same 5 games.
Ask 100 people to name their top 5 N64 games. You will hear "mario, zelda and uuuuhhhhh. .." 100 times. You now realize that this has been the case with Nintendo for 25 fricking years now.
You won't here anyone name a single PS1 game because there weren't many. Just shovelware reclassified as "gems"
>You won't here anyone name a single PS1 game because there weren't many.
moron. there were more good jrpgs and fighting games alone on the ps1 than the entire n64 library. the n64 didnt even have games from those genres besides Quest 64 (you can tell how bad that game was just from the name) and shit tier mortal kombat ports
I learned from this board that N64 had like 2 decent 3d fighters. Fighter's Destiny and Fighter's Destiny 2. Both games sold like shit though.
Normal people don’t like japashit or grainy shovelware. N64s more cartoon like graphics were better than “realism” and anime weirdo shit that looked horrible in polygons. Fact is normal people with friends played n64 and laughed when the weirdos who smelled like Mountain Dew and cat piss insisted that some japshit and 4 minute loading screens for shovelware was better than fun Mario and goldeneye.
playstation was the normalgay console of choice for teens and adults and kids just came from watching the pokemon anime for a couple of years and dbz started airing when the n64 was in its prime. anime was big with kids and was airing on like every saturday morning cartoon channel. thinking they hated "japshit" is hilariously wrong.
When I grew up, the only japshit literary anyone touched was Pokemon for like a 6 month period when it came out. Only weirdos and spergs liked it or dbz beyond that. Anime was unheard of. Guessing you were just friends with weirdo spergs.
>t. 43 year old man from Alabama
No, 37 yo man from the east coast. The first kid I met into japshit was in HS and he was a complete effeminate gay and universally bullied. You are weird.
Ignoring that FF7 sold over 3 million units in USA.
based boomer, i remember before the word "anime" was even a word in the US. it was just called japanamation.
I know this is gonna happen to me too one day but do you realize whats happened to you? Are you able to see it? I'm just curious if old people know its happening when it happens. Do you realize that the world has changed so much around you and you've fallen so far behind that you're like a weird out of place foreigner that can't even communicate with anyone anymore? You may as well be making weird clicking noises at people.
Lmao the threads about n64. I was a kid when n64 was out. So I’m the authority here, not some zoomie who saw a tiktok video while getting his hair permed. And when n64 was out, normal people never heard of japshit.
>. And when n64 was out, normal people never heard of japshit.
Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, etc. Japshit was literally trending mainstream when N64 was at its peak.
We played Pokémon for 6 months when it came out, afterward anyone who talked about it was gay. Only person I knew into Sailor Moon were these stick thin weird twin girls who smelled like cat piss. Only person I knew into DBZ was a complete homosexual with a blow dried mullet that I reckon he thought looked like anime hair, and one alright guy that started out as a dweeb and got jacked.
And with these three notables aside, literally no one watched anime or knew what a JRPG was (except probably the mullet kid, we were too busy bullying him to find out though).
I know those 3 things you listed did numbers, but the people who liked them were all weirdo sperg undesirables. And they were the exceptions. The only japshit around. Normal people played n64 with their friends.
I see you are from one of "those" places...
I bet you got bullied as a kid for not sporting the Old Navy tech vest and wearing briefs instead of boxers.
i'm a bit younger but dbz was absolutely gigantic here. but we're talking middle school vs high school here, so in middle school dbz was cool and in high school it wasn't, which makes sense. basically dbz to me is what pokemon was to you, the last acceptable anime thing before it became uncool. but nintendo was equally as uncool here because it was "for kids".
>still only mentions N64 games while avoiding talking about PS1 games
>You won't here anyone name a single PS1 game because there weren't many
You definitely never stepped into a video rental store in 1999. There was a whole room of PS1 games. There was 1 shelf of N64 games for Golden Eye, Mario and Zelda. That's all they bothered carrying for the whole fricking life of the system because its all anyone cared about regarding the N64. It literally existed for Golden Eye 4 player and that's it.
Yeah the games were so bad you're talking about them to this day while I can't remember a single notable PS1 title
Sega Saturn failed even on Japan. If I recall it was a mix of marketing, and Sega Genesis also being that console you only knew one, maybe two, kids that actually had it. Also the handful of games that people are nostalgic over stood out that much compared to what was available
Nope Saturn did not fail in Japan. Until early 1997 it actually led the Japanese market (then FF7 was released and it turned the tide). It outsold N64 in Japan. And I think it sold more consoles in Japan than all of other Sega's consoles sold in Japan combined.
So SOJ traded their worldwide success for Japan success and it didn't end well.
Classic Segatard insanity. N64 was a flop but the Saturn that sold 50k more units in Japan? The picture of success.
When you're a kid you don't want to admit your console is not the best one (although some adults also behave like this), so Nintendo fans had no other option but to pretend the few good games they had were the second coming of Christ and the games from other consoles were mediocre or crap.
Nintendo fans during the times of N64 and Gamecube were absolutely obnoxious, mostly due to jealousy. They always sounded sad, frustrated and angry. They forced themselves to reject lots of games and genres they had loved in the past, because they couldn't admit there were other good companies aside from Nintendo.
They calmed down during the Wii times, mostly because Nintendo's efforts to attract third parties and give its consoles more varied games have suceeded to a certain degree. And behaving like this for so long must be really exhausting. These days they aren't that different from sonyers. They keep giving special treatment to first party games, but sonyers also started doing the same after losing so many exclusivities during PS3 times.
But when you mention the N64, some Nintendo fans just start saying once again the same things they said when they were just jealous kids.
Saturngays make me laugh. They try so very hard just to even paint themselves as the silver medalist of the generation and fall hilariously short. Sony gave devs a new platform with unprecedented lenience leading to some of the most prized entries in veteran franchises and fostering new IPs, while Nintendo laid the groundwork for a shit ton of modern 3D game design. What the frick did the Saturn do? Eat Playstation and arcade table scraps? The Dreamcast was the far superior system and absolutely mogged the Saturn's legacy despite dying faster, selling less hardware, and having less buttons on its standard controller.
>What the frick did the Saturn do?
i had one and im still not sure. my most played game on it was road rash which was multiplatform. followed by Mr. Bones which was a bizarre game that was pretty much ass but was so weird i ended up liking it more than it probably deserved
Because it gave me Mystical Ninja and Bomberman 64 OST
DASH DASH DASH
IKUUUUUZEEEEEE
BREAKDOWN
looks like its settled. n64 had a few S tier games but the ps1 had a larger library of good games
Yeah the N64 was good for a rent when you had friends over because of 007. Other than that it collected dust for 5 years once you were done with SM64 and OOT.
wave race and nba jam were n64 releases, they also had pretty fun multiplayer. dunno why some gay mentioned quest64, that game was weak shit even for being one of the rare rpgs on the n64. you could steam roll the entire game if you leveled the magic in a certain order, but if you went in blind and leveled the 'wrong' spell trees it was frustratingly hard.
there was also a lot of fun fighting games on the n64. the kids who only played smash were just poorgays that got in on the n64 towards the end of its life cycle.
this... 007 and birthday parties are where the SNES really shined.
>Seething JRPG gay angry at the based N64
Every time
the seethe is understandable given the previous nintendo console (snes) was the jrpg absolute unit
SNES besides known for platformers like mario it was mostly known for JRPG's and Fighting games. Both genres that were very lacking on the N64.
N64 is known for 3d action/platforming games along with multiplayer/party games. Those genres were severely lacking on other consoles from the same generation.
Are you really trying to claim that PS1 wasn't full of action/platforming games? With the multiplayer I can somewhat agree due to PS1 being limited to 2 controllers. But PS1 was full of action/platforming games like: Tomb Raider series, Crash series, spyro games, Legacy of Kain, Megaman games, Megaman legends games and SOTN.
Full 3D games on PS1 looked, ran and played like shit. Inferior in almost every way. Most had no fricking clue what they were doing with 3D. Tank controls. Fixed camera angles, and bad design in general due to lack of any proper 3D rendering hardware. Most "3D" games on PS1 were really just fundamentally 2D games.
Almost all of this can be said of N64 which is why it hasn't aged well like PS1. The only difference is that N64 basically has zero 2d games while PS1 had them.
Now 6th gen onward 3d gaming fleshed out. But 5th gen was that clunky experimental phase.
It's library was small but it had a few really good games. Just because a console is bad doesn't mean it can't have some good stuff on it.
Yeah I'm sure the 3DO has some good games...
>So why especially millenials are so nostalgic for this overrated console that was the worst of it's generation?
Turok Rage Wars, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, F Zero, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Blast Corps, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64. I don't know what generations are supposed to be what ages anymore, but people my age remember having the N64 as a teenager and playing all these brilliant games with their friends. The other consoles had either tons of JRPGs or really niche but well received games that were hardly shipped outside of Japan. I don't even think about the Saturn as part of that generation. I would be surprised if more than 10 were sold in my entire country. Anyone who was old enough to appreciate games at that time, especially if they had friends, would disagree with you.
mid-thread reminder that smash is not a fighting game
>Why does the worst 5th gen console have the most nostalgia?
Nobody's nostalgic for Sega Saturn, kiddo.
>Why does the worst 5th gen console have the most nostalgia?
You just made that up though. Do you have any fricking clue how many copies N'Sane Trilogy sold?
COCO
Playstation was actually a joint venture with Nintendo but Sony got dicked when Nintendo said they did not want a CD console anymore so Sony went at it on their own. PS1 is the true successor to the SNES which was the greatest of the prior gen.
