This is what is so silly about this debate though. That is a tech demo. There are a massive amount of particle effects. But you are the ones saying the ps3 isn't good for gaming. I'm saying for specific tasks it actually is. All those particle effects and destruction is all well and good but where does it fit in in the real world. It's like comparing Lady Gaga to someone who can actually sing. YAy another 1st person shooter with massive amounts of particle effects. /YippyBut yet MLB 2k11 on the PC still doesn't have working scoreboards or a jumbotron that does anything lol.Celtic_34I stopped reading at lady gaga lmao.
No it wasn't. The PS1 was a HUGE success, that doesn't necessarily mean the N64 was a failure. It only sold 16m less than the successful SNES.[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="SpyhunterReborn"]
The N64 was a failure by any metric. The proof of this was the performance woes of the Gamecube after the fact.

It alienated the third party developers to the point that they stopped developing for Nintendo almost entirely during that generation as well as the following generation.
It lost Nintendo its market presence in the home console market to the point that the Gamecube, despite the high level of gaming available for it, was functionally ignored.
Explain how it was a success... It made Nintendo money? How much money is worth losing what I have stated?
I would be willing to argue the success of the Playstation was a near direct result of how much of a disaster the N64 was. That is a success?
3rd party developers deserted Nintendo for the way they were treated moreso than the N64. Also, they realised that the PS was selling well and jumped ship, that wasn't the N64's fault. As I said, it wasn't so much that N64 failed but the fact that it was competing with the cheaper PS1 & it being the most successful console of all time (imo), yet it still managed to sell 33m. Not bad, considering gaming was nowhere near as big back then as it is now.
