You know that the market's going downhill when...
*A console that boasts original & inovative games, brilliant first-party support and the first standard modem for a console... fails. The console boasted analogue buttons and mobile gaming. It invented Cell Shading- a technique that has been adopted by Miyamoto-san.
Of course, I'm talking about the Dreamcast. The console was excellent in all ways- except marketting and brand name. Just because the console couldn't push big banners around on TV, it failed. Sad indeed.
*A console whose launch proved that everything the manufacturers had said was a lie- photorealism, revolution and originality- succeeds. The launch games were SO far off the massive multi-million polygon creative demos shown that they were unrecognisable from what was being expected. A console that was riddled with more faults (in both development and implementation) than the millenium dome.
The PS2. By no means a bad console- but comparing like-for-like, the Dreamcast should have outsold it by acres.
'Tis a sad time for the gaming industry- marketting sells over quality, and those without money lose. Neither MS nor Ninty will be able to break Sony's dominance- EVEN if they produce the greatest games ever, AND Sony developed the worst games ever.
Dire indeed.

N64 definitely failed. Nintendo got too cocky, and if you don't believe it you drink Evian bottled water.

Never say never! Stranger things have happened....I remember you saying a GC price drop before launch would defy rationalisation! But it still happened!

When did Nintendo fall?
Sony will eventually fall after all, Nintendo did.
Surely Microsoft will have the upper hand in advertising, what with the incredible amount of money they can spend?
