well I guess I exaggerate a bit. Let's just say that it barely lived up to Nintendo expectations. N64 lasted 4 years, then it was cut short so abruptly. many games (and good games i might add) weren't released and were postponed for Dolphin (yeah you can say they did that because they wanted to give the customer a better gaming experience...yeah rite). while PSX and PS1 lasted something like 6 or more, nintendo was obliged to linger only on Gameboy sells. I remember reading a Nintendo Magazine and it was all about Gameboy games, and some kids asking for Goldeneye cheats, and one or two speculations surrounding Dolphin. that lasted for about a year. one time they printed an article "ten reason to chose nintendo" because they were pretty much beat when talking about which console was better
There was an article I read in Newsweekly or some other magazines, about next gen consoles. It talked about the Dreamcast, and PS2, and how nintendo had to rely on gameboy (with a sells chart or something like that), waiting to came out with a new console.
so that's why I said it failed.

I couldn't edit my post but there's something i wanna add.
nintendo lost many customers that had indeed grow up and weren't interested on kiddie games anymore. take Conker for example, that game sucked @$$: "look he has a cute little had, ohhh, and his hat changes whenever his in a different world saving his lil' friends ". Of course, all that changed with Conker's Bad Fur Day, but they realized of their mistake way too late.
well, that's true but still was a good console.
pretty much like Snes, most of its accessories were pure crap, but it still remains as one of the best consoles ever

first off, I didnt even SEE a psx in stores. testament to how bad it was.
secondly, what the hell are you even TALKING ABOUT?
I didnt even know Conker had a game other than the N64 one. Unless that game boy game actually came out. btw, conker was made by Rare, you twit. I'm sure nintendo decided they need a british foul mouth squirrel to change public image.
your pulling up pretty obscure stuff to use as proof that it's a kiddy console.

There can only be CHAOS!
The PSX wasn't even released in America; it did too poorly in Japan. An udder waste of time and money. Where do you get the impression that it would be "ten times better than PS2"? It IS a PS2, only with a TiVo and DVD burner built in. And it's white. Woo...

Yes, I know there are, and I've seen that... the article is several months old. There is nothing else spectacular worth mentioning from it, though. It's a pathetic ploy for money, is what it is. That, and a distraction until the PS3. The features are so minute and insignificant, they're not even worth discussing.
N64 was not a failure. Although it didnt outsell PS1, it still sold very well. It had its problem (controller and lack of 3rd party games) it still was good.
It was a tough console (bought it once, never had to buy another one) unlike the PS1 (how many times have people bought the same console because it broke. It also had the best software for that time period. So i dont think its failure.
ok first off: I wasn't aware of PSX (a new version of PS2), I always knew the first PlayStation as PSX, then the smaller version call PS1. Playstation was never PS1 cuz there wasn't a PS2 at the time. PS2 was suppose to have the code name PSY. what I meant about PSX (PlayStation 1) being a good console was short statement, given the fact that it outsold N64 and remains a great console.
you never see PSX in Stores? cuz it never made here. just like N64 DD (disk drive) it had only like 4 games and it was a complete TITANIC, it sank on it first sail. only released in Japan. Did you know that???(BTW I'm pretty sure you know what Dolphin is, right?)
Second: Conker was made by Rare (same company that ended nearly destroying Donkey Kong after doing so well in Snes) but who the hell did you think was in control of them; Nintendo!!!. they only made games for them at the time. and in case you didn't know it Conker was supposed to be a game pretty much like Banjoo Kazooie, only more stupid and child like (does The Teletubbies ring a bell?). like I said, the console was going down hill, so they changed the game completely, going another direction (imitating South Park). now who's the twit???. If you don't believe me, search for any information about it, I'm sure you'll find it. what I posted about the hat is an example of it .
as far as I know, there was a Conker game for Gameboy Color, and I think it was released, although I'm not so sure. I can't say anything about that game cuz I never saw it.
and most people I know agreed that N64 was kiddy console.but that's just them, right???
you see, I do have how to support my post and my opinion, I was wrong about the PSX cuz I didn't know about it, but everything else is right. If you disagree, It's ok. but my argument is not, in anyway, obscure.

Who gives a shit if the N64 was a "kiddie console." Generally i have alot better time play "kiddie" games than mature games.
For every Mario 64 or Zelda, theres 10 Resident Evil - GTA ripoffs that blow balls.
try goin there, and maybe you will learn something.
and it had 9 games, and several unreleased ones, INCLUDING a finished legend of Zelda game, that was slated for the 64 dd."Did you know that?"
it was released in 1999/2000. it had origally been slated for a 1996/97 release. but after cartride memory improved so dramatically, there was no need for it.
Finally, a decent explanation why the gamecube had such a dismal online plan. the 64 dd had an online feature, but it crashed and burned, hence why nintendo is afraid of online.

I knew everything about N64DD, what am I suppose to learn from that site?: that it had the astonishing quantity of 9 games: 4 of them were Marios and one was an expansion (F-Zero), and that game about the GIANT BANANA (I don't know anything about that game so I can't say if its bad or not), a golf game, and several others never released.
what about the Zelda game, Was it released???
If you didn't get it : YES I knew That!!!!
but did you now about Conker???
both PSX and N64DD are just what Jkozzy said "It's a pathetic ploy for money, is what it is."
BTW: I don't have anything against GameCube or Zelda
Samas-adian> kiddie games are Ok as long as they're fun, it just that nintendo really got a lot a people tired of them, they'd say something like: "if you want violence in your TV, just watch the news". but then they have the HYPOCRISY of turning a kiddie character into a Rambo wannabe
ok, I'm getting kinda tired of this. Let's just drop it please
zombie hunter> the link works
