"Playstation poo!?!"

Whatever your views on the PSX, you have to admit it has NO distinctive games. Classics, yes, some but classics such as MGS are also avialable on other formats, PC for example, and Game boy color (or if you live in the UK, like me, colour). The N64 on the other hand has LOADS; Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Conkers BFD, the list goes on. The only reason the PSX sold well was because it brought gaming to the mainstream by sending out the perception it was 'cool', and we don't play games to be cool do we.

in reply to the message...... the reason the playstation sold well is because it had a good market strategy. They got it into everyone's head that they had the better console and so more people bought it. Doesn't matter if it is actually better or not - just depends if they cant make people belive it is!

It's when I read topics like this that I feel ashamed to be a Ninty.

Grow up you stupid biased little chimp.

I think that because Sega had been around a while, people looking to start in the Games Industry saw Sony as a new cool thing, and belived Sega to be for the Old Skool. Also, it's audience at that time would all have Sony Stereo's and other Sony stuff and belive it to be a good make.

Tiltawhirl, You aren't a Ninty from what I've heard.

Oh no i've been found out, i'm actually a closet Playstation fan.

What are you on about?

Nothing.
My head hurt's.

You know potty training your consoles shouldn't really be an issue.

I've never seen Playstation poo, Nintendo poo, or Sega poo, you guys are obviously doing something wrong.

It all started when I copied my role model, Mario, and ate an unusual mushrooms. I couldn't throw fire but I saw stars!!! (I've been seeing things since!).
