And in a weird way the PS1 was an abandoned Nintendo console.  All kinds of funny stuff like this in the industry.

Nintendo_Ownes7

yeah, because originally Sony had done the sound design in the SNES I believe, er something. I forget... but then they parted ways.

The PS1 was originally going to be an add-on for the SNES called the SNES Playstation or Nintendo Playstation. But Nintendo backed out of the deal because Sony wanted the licenses of the games that were made for the add-ons.

Than Sony went to SEGA and SEGA is reason the PS1 was 32bit because Sony originally wanted it to be the same power as the SNES.

 

So the PS1 is an abandoned Nintendo and SEGA console.

Nop.e it was called Play station with a space and had no similarities to the PSX we know now, none. It was made soley by them to demolish.

I think Nintendo and Sony were co-developing the PS1, or Sony developed the disc drive... something, but Nintendo backed out last minute.

it was a totally different disc drive, the only thing left from that deal was the name. The actual PSX we know now is a completely different device with a completely different laser and everything.

With some recent reading of news from various threads, it seems to me that Microsoft are seemingly backing down slowly but surely with XBOX One.

 

Here is what i mean...

Microsoft seems to be going back to bigging up PC gaming and supporting it more.

XBOX One is not shipping everywhere, and now partners are pissed!

Things are not looking good for Microsoft on the console front.

Did everyone in Systemwars get replaced by drunks? Your first link was pushing it already, your second is for every system, who has ever done a world wide launch?

That's not really double dipping. Double dipping is getting all versions of Splinter cell or Beyond good and Evil on every system or at least 2.

I don't think the NES, Master System and the 7800 were under-powered for their times and price points.

Sure, if you wanted better you were better-off with a Commodore Amiga or Atari ST computer or go to the Arcades to experience the latest and greatest gaming offered at the time (or even waiting for 16-bit consoles like TG-16 & Genesis) but the above mentioned systems still offered what was fessible for the console market at the time.

NES might have been just a re-packed Famicom with no big improvements (they could have given the US/Euro version higher clocks), still, it re-ignited interest into video (home console) gaming which was somewhat lost at the time. (not counting the 8-bit home computers which were popular)

So it didn't "save the gaming industry" like some like to exaggerate, rather, it re-ignited interest into home video gaming. (if it wasn't the NES then some other company would likely attempt to "break through", e.g. NEC or Sega which were undoubtly interested in the US video game market)

You were paying around $350 for tech from 1979-1982. Several games even looked better and a lot ran better than games on 3rd gen as they say, systems. The lack of competitors with money made everyone play safe, and the 2600 is a big reason for that as well as the NES. I have to question what games people played who were around at the time when they say any of the big 3rd gen consoles were impressive.

 

The nes sold very fast, while not as big in NA overall as the 2600, it started out much faster. Even I thought they were going to sale with each other for the next decade. With the top loader, the 2600 Jr,and 2800 among 2 others. This is part of why 're-ignited interest is also bad to me. Atari only reported post 84 sales to specific media, and the public kept talking about their slow financial recovery putting all the public media spot light on the NES.

 

Another thing my friend, Sega released the master the same year as the NES. And while NEC is questionable, as when the pc engine came out in japan and was a hit, they already seemed to have planned a WW launch, especially in the u.s.a. Because they spent a lot of money dropping the focus on the Japanese market even releasing games and their portable in the u.s. First. Remember, NEC used to be a big greedy pig corporation to. :lol:

 

son, I had to keep retyping 2600 because auto correct thought it was elephant! :lol:

 

There was quite a big jump from 2600 to NES:>

I know you are not doing this after the last time you posted. You purposely chose the lowest common denominator knowing what systems i was talking about Before, so why would you even make this post at all? You KNOW I said late second gen systems before. Out of these two which one looks better to you? Bet i know which one you will pick and it won't be the NES version.

You know you're going to get the boot out of here once people see that post change you made right? I am still waiting for Ristar, Super Mario World, Beyond Oasis, and Super Metroid. There was no disc system Super Mario World, and you never explained Super Metroid,

[QUOTE="Stinger78"][QUOTE="famicommander"]No thanks, I'll stick to my NES cartridge. Developers need to learn to replicate the appeal of these cIassic titles without remaking them outright. I don't want to buy a game I already have. I bought my new systems because I wanted new experiences, not so I could relive my childhood.

This game provides new voice acting, new areas to explore within the classic levels, a storyline as you go through each level - more than just the motivation to beat them, and created a whole new ending sequence. The boss battles are also not just rehashes.

68 on Metacritic and falling.

[QUOTE="Yo-SUP"][QUOTE="Domino_slayer"]

[QUOTE="Yo-SUP"]The 7800 also was test marketed in 85.Emerald_Warrior

No it wasn't, it was test marketed at the beginning of 1984 and then cancelled indefinitely.

It was then released in 1986 after the successful NES New York release

It was not world wideYo-SUP

Well according to Compute! magazine April 1986 it was worldwide.

It was also test marketed in 1985, and the 2600 sold over a million in 1985 but was selling well every month before the end of that year. THe NES and 7800 came out the same year. In 85 in 85 it was the U.S., the 2600 sold further over a million in 86 with at least slightly above a million in the U.S. with an additional chunk due to sudden boost of the 2600 jr, according to market analysis's and atari themselves. I fail to see how you can think the NES at the time when it was still doubted to do that well somehow convinced Atari who had actually did better in that same year, to bring the 7800. Had nothing to do with the NES just like it had nothing to do with the Master System. If you refuse to look that up, or refuse to at least accept the possibility that your "source" may have been in accurate (which should be clear since most sites(still) claim that the NES came out before the 7800 by a long length and then the 7800 came out.) then there's not much to continuing the conversation.

This guy and JakandSigz sound VERY similiar...just saying.

Right, the guy who said the CD-I sold 10 million is very similar to me :lol: All I did was say what I read in a text book and new articles, and was alive, when they came out.

I would be more worried about your new friend that's posting now. Has an interesting username similar to one I saw when i was browsing the forums a few pages back. Something about cats and superheroes. :lol:
