Virtual Boy wasn\'t half bad, just no way to market that kind of equipment, sadly.

..

Cheap = Appeal to middle class America.

Hardcore NIntendo fans  = Sales

Franchises = Sales

Under 13 crowd = Sales

Yeah, it has a market.

Yeah, Wii is looking better and better, if the rumoured price is right.

However, Yarnton, representing Nintendo UK, does as much mudslinging
as the old Yamauchi did or any other \'CEO\'.

Does that validate or condone his rant more ? No.

Virtual Boy didn\'t flop because of poor marketing ; it induced nausea and
headaches to people. It was a hazard device. The product was a risk yeah, and this risk went wrong.

3DO, Sega and Atari (and even Philips CD-i)  \'innovated\' by going cd-rom based consoles. However, their timing sucked. Developers and processor technology weren\'t ready at that time to take advantage of the cd-rom media to create richer games with it. They were merely \'extensions\' of the 16 bit games.

The came Sony who flocked and encouraged developers to create games which took advantage of cdrom format ; FF games with FMV and more ingame room for more textures & audio. Philips CD-i flopped because too many of those games tried to \'innovate\' by having alot of live action footage in it. Of course, they learnt it the hard way that that was not the way games were to evolve.

It was Nintendo who played it partially conservative sticking to their \'succesful\' cartridges. Yeah, real smart move :thumb:

Virtual Boy flopped due to not being portable and poor marketing.

The argument about cd format..

The 3DO flopped due to price tag and lack of anything beyond FMV games. I know, I own one. A $700 dollar price tag and lack of good games, it\'ll kill any system.

The Jaguar CD flopped due to being an ADD-ON to an already existing console, not only that, but a console that was in piss-poor shape.. I know, I own one.

The SEGA CD, was nothing more than an add-on, the first of two.  As for the Saturn, it flopped due to a price tag and a botched launch...I know, I own both.

Nintendo played it "partially conserative" due to their anti-piracy views, something they stuck by when they moved to the Cube format.

Oh and the CD-I, yeah it just sucked...

Did I say it was? No.
But we all know that the reason for the cartridge and properitary Cube format was based on curving piracy. Was those two systems as pirated as say the Xbox? No.... Both formats made it more difficult to pirate . Sega tried the same with the GD-ROm, but well, we know how that worked.

I really wish you\'d quit trying to put words into my mouth when it is obvious what I said. I never said they was piracy free.

No I didn\'t. I stated the reason they went with the cartridge format. I never made it out more than that. Quit adding things that are not there.

About the Atari Jaguar and Mega CD add on..

Ow boy ....  Sega\'s add on\'s like the Mega CD and 32X are the things which pissed off , once Sega fans like me and many others.

The Atari Jaguar ? Even though the market has changed and one cannot make a direct comparison... buying a PS3 is ALOT wiser choice.
