I don’t think Cool_Breeze disciple only meant just 4 games. I own 17 Wii U games and not a single one is on any other platform (nor are any of them remakes).

Where do you live? I got my PS4 in 2013 and its 2016. This article though particularly talks about the Xbox upgrade rumored to be coming next year, putting that at 4 years... only 1 year shy of what is accepted as okay to buy new hardware. I never said it was a good investment though, I was just wondering where you…

Why are you saying every 2 years? In that case, the upgraded Xbox and PS4 came out last year then.

Depends on what kind of games you play (or if you’re a collector like myself). The majority of my Wii U, Xbox One and PS4 games are only for those platforms.

The PS2 was announced several months before the Dreamcast’s US launch and it was first shown to the public just days after the US release date. The DC sold well for the rest of 1999. Again, my point was that had Sega not wet the bed with the 32X and the launch of the Saturn, maybe consumers, developers and retailers…

Dude you’re missing the point. The PS2 hype machine would’ve meant squat if the original PlayStation wasn’t the best selling console of all time at that point. Remember the hype for the original Xbox? It didn’t matter because the PlayStation brand was already massive. The Xbox did build enough of a following through…

Sega’s horrible business decisions prior to the Dreamcast killed the Dreamcast.. period.

The PS2 didn’t help, but it was at the bottom of the list of reasons (the rest Sega’s fault) that Sega failed. It doesn’t matter how good a console is if 3rd party developers aren’t making games for it and retailers aren’t supporting it. Sega screwed up by surprise releasing the Saturn without letting retailers and…

ThePS2 didn’t do it either. The 32X and Saturn launch did.

I always heard that it was a combination of sonus.. the Latin word for sound and sonny boys which was a Japanese slang for whiz kids.. “sound whiz kids”

Nah.

Well, the reason I don’t think it was meant to be a home console is because the Nintendo 64 was their 5th generation successor to the 4th generation Super Nintendo, while the Virtual Boy seemed to be the 5th generation follow up the 4th generation Game Boy.

I’d hate if they did that. People dog on Sega, but they really were one of the best games publishers ever from the early 80s - the death of the Dreamcast. Since then, they haven’t had to make more software to try to entice customers to buy their hardware, causing their output of games to significantly decrease.…

The thing is though, the Wii U is a current gen console with last gen graphics.

Shoot.. third parties started to abandon Nintendo with the 64. They supported the GameCube slightly better, but Sony pretty much dominated support that generation as they had the previous one.

I always considered the Virtua Boy to be a portable.. which like Reborn Upright I usually differentiate from “consoles.”

Yeah, sounds like he’s talking about that immature phase that a lot of males go through around hs where you’re “too old” for things, regardless of how you really feel about them. Yeah, I didn’t subscribe to that because I wasn’t going to let people tell me what's cool or not. At 23, me and my friends were playing…

Yeah... If Sega hadn’t pissed developers and retailers off by releasing the Saturn 4 months ahead of schedule without telling them and launched with Sonic and some 3rd party support.... Things would’ve probably turned out differently. If you could roll the 64 and Saturn into one console, it’d possibly be my favorite…

No need to say “back in the day” because not everyone’s experience was the same.. I’m in my mid 30s and I was a teenager in that era.. I hung out with adults that played Sonic or whatever.. and wasn't wanting "adult" games whatever the hell that means. I had a cousin that was 24 when Mario 64 came out, he was as blown…
