MrCaine01, hmmmm, so what you saying is, if I released a handheld with specs that far surpass anything on the market at this present time, I am guranteed massive sales? Then why did the Atari Lynx, Sega Game Gear & Neo Geo Pocket all fail? Each of them didnt even put a dent into the Game Boy market share. Heck why arent the PS2 sales slowing down or stopping altogether, Even though there are two consoles that far surpass it in terms of Specs? Brand loyalty? or perhaps its the range and choice of games on offer? Hmmmm, what other format offers a similar kind of choice on games?

The two main reasons why the N64 did badly (which it didnt do too badly actually, its just that everyone and their mother was replacing the term console with the word Playstation), was because of the massive royalties Nintendo demanded off its Developers which lead to poor software support and the very, very high prices of the games.

Anyways, Gran Turismo is calling me, so I'm out, ok, fanboys?

Hey m8.

Two quick ones here. Some techy on this forum did a quick check-up on which was the superior console in terms of total performance rather than just looking at how fast processors r clocked etc and found that there was very little if any difference in them. Also the reason that Nintendo 64 sales were poor is that U couldn't back-up the software easily ( just like the gamecube) and a console will always suffer in that situation.
