Let's face it. Most people buy Xbox 360s because their friends tell them to and people assume 360 has better and more games just because 360 games are a lot more popular, which is why the 360 has more sales. If SONY's marketing didn't suck so much(besides Kevin Butler) people will know more about AAA titles like Uncharted. I talk about this game a lot and people don't even know what it is but as soon as I mention Gears they start freaking out.
The Nintendo 64 platform had superior processing capabilities compared to most personal computers available at the time, but also came with challenges. "The [Nintendo 64] is capable of doing a lot of stuff," Dienstbier said. "If you want to handle fancy particle lighting, and transparency effects, and you want to throw around huge amounts of math [...] or geometry onscreen, it's got the processing power to do that, and yes it's a fantastic machine. However, calling it a developer's dream kinda gives you the impression that it's easy to crank out a game like Turok, and it's definitely not." While Nintendo was supportive, Iguana had to produce all its game development tools internally. Fitting the game on its 8 MB cartridge was difficult; ultimately, Iguana had to compress everything and reduce the quality of the music to meet size requirements.
