Please, don\'t bring up the Jaguar..As Atari use to say, "do the math".

Well NSS. I was just pointing out the fact. And i wouldnt say Jag because it was two 32 bit processors :p. I know what im talking about. There is no need to provide the facts for me ;). Psh i have one (and no i didnt pay for it).

All valid points. But if the N64 was truely better then it could have survived almost this long. Of course it logically wouldnt and so it didnt.

(1) I also have a Jaguar and I did pay for it. :D

(2) The N64 was doomed. Spec wise, it was superior, as was the Saturn. Infact, Psone was the worst of all consoles, spec wise, however the cartridge format killed N64 and Sega\'s sketchy past and lack of American support hurt them. Not to mention a surprise launch.

If anything, the Psone did nothing \'cept capatalize on the other two companies mistakes. The N64 was delayed constantly, was cartridge based , so developers didn\'t want to develop for it. The Saturn had a surprise launch, Sega\'s sketchy past and was hard to develop for.. Where else was developers going to go ?

In my opinion, Sony really done nothing to get so succesful. It was a matter of developers not having any other viable platform to develop for. So what did they do? They went with a product that had a brand name and decent advirtisements (if not overly sexual, or so \'Sophia Says\').

This may sound like I am not giving credit to Sony and I guess I\'m not. I am not though, saying that the Psone was not a good console. It was and it provided me with pleny of great games (namely CastleVania: SOTN - a game that oddly enough Sony did not want to happen at first due to its 2D nature).

I guess thats pretty much right. Although the saturn had a fairly large impact in Japan which was at least nice to see. Importing was a pain at times though. I didnt remember how Saturn was hard to dev. for. I remember seeing the specs and i didnt remember how they faired against the ps1.

I know the ps1 was like a 33MHz RISC processor and all that and i remember how the saturn was generally a performer when it came to 2d (most commonly fighters). But like i was saying i dont remember all that right now.

Eventhough the 64 was cartridge based it did have some pretty decent things to offer. The pricing was part of it not doing as well too, while not contributing as much as other things. I play almost all my systems on a semi regular basis except my jag, 3D0, Master System and some others. PS(1&2), N64, Genesis, SNES, NES and Turbo GraFX 16 (not a lot) are in a decent rotation if i can call it that.

Anyway, the surprise launch was definately a poor move on segas part. Its sad to see such a good company step down a notch just due to simple marketing, business strategy problems etc.

Oh and if you are ever bored, bring up some Saturn specs ;)  heh.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I\'ll never forget those days wasted after football practice where we would break out the Playstation and play hours of Goldeneye, Revenge, and Mario Kart. 4-player split screen was off the hizzle.

It was a great console and still is one of the greats of our generation. The PS1 will be long remembered as the console that changed the way we look at gaming.

Sucked? Never. Eh, to each his own.

I just realized that the RISC processor in the Sat was slower than that of the RISC in the Ps. Still i dont remember how much ram the ps had. Meh.

This is getting old

Goodbye little fella....

If it wan\'t for you i might of ened up buying a saturn or worse still a X box.

:crying:

Also If it wan\'t for you then all the casual gamers would never know what RPG stood for. :crying:

Plus you also managed to piss off all them "hardcore" gamers, who hated you from the word GO.

But ignore them little buddy they are all 30 year old  something WANKERS who still live with the parents.

The Playstation is dead... long live the PSTWO

p.s.

The saturn was Shite... and still is... wouldn\'t even let my cats use it as a hollowed out litter try.

j/k j/k ;)
