Had a much better library than the original playstation and saturn

>had a much better library than the original playstation and saturn
>sold way less than the original playstation and got outsold by the saturn in japan
how was this possible? the n64 paved the way for 3D games...

Slow first party support, stifled third party support

Just like with every nintoddlr console

Don't get me wrong I loved the 64 but I literally had less than ten games for it the entire lifetime of the console

quality over quantity
also more expensive games

cartridges

they missed the boat on cds and that's why square fucked off to playstation and made it a success with ff7 and its prerendered cutscenes

Oldfag here. I bought all three systems on release. The N64 had the worst library out of the three system by far. I've played hundreds of PSX and Saturn games and still own about 50 games for each, but only played about 20-30 games in the N64, and only own about ten titles for it now.

>and that's why square fucked off to playstation
thats a common misconception. ff7 was suppose to be on playstation and saturn but kutaragi paid a truckload of $$$$ for it to be exclusive on playstation. ff7 was a massive success and we all know what happened afterwards.

>Oldfag here. I bought all three systems on release.
oldfag doesnt mean your old, newfag.

It failed because the most powerful system always fails in every gen.

Megadrive failed to NES, Genesis failed to SNES, N64 failed to PS1, Gamecube failed to Xbox/PS2, PS3 failed to Wii, Wii U/Xbone failed to PS4 (come on for its size the thing is weak), and now Scorpio/PS5 will fall to the Switch. We have done this many times and have become exceedingly proficient at it.

>Megadrive failed to the NES
You mean the master system?

all of these consoles (except for ps3) didnt lose because it was the most powerful

Nintendo made more money anyway, do you think Nintendo gives a shit if Playstation sold more because of piracy? lol

I miss my old N64 box, I lost it in a flood a decade ago.

>sold way less than the original playstation and got outsold by the saturn in japan
Because it didn't have a better library than the PS1 or Saturn. Consoles live or die by their games.

PS1 I could see someone making a case for, but Saturn? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

>implying the xbox was weaker than GC

>much better library
literally only nintendo cocksuckers on Sup Forums believe this

Saturn has a great library, particularly the Japanese library.

>The best and most influential games of the gen vs a seemingly unending stream of 6-7/10 "gems"
Gee how can Nintendo compete?

The only thing the N64 did better was multiplayer

better controller
better exclusives
better graphics
etc.

>The only thing the N64 did better was multiplayer
And that's a solid 70% of why I own a console in the first place
