Hello, as you know n64 was released a couple years ago and many games were made for it. At the same time many addons were sold on store shelves make n64 one of the best game systems to own but now the gamecube has come out with graphics over 1023 mbit this sytem tops n64 graphics but does it have the stategy in it's games like n64 or the many addons that make n64 better? no! N64 has many popular such as mario 64 , mario kart (I love this one), Pokemon stadium and the first microphone communication game which is called Hey you pikachu! But does gamecube have this tecnology and popular games? No! Although gamecube is still ranked 3rd after ps2 I think if the nintendo.inc can give its games more strategy and more effort gamecube can make it into first place because it has monster graphics now all it needs is some addons and some new stuff!

Let us compare games sold in one year:

Mario Kart games sold: 34,654,343
Mario64 games sold: 678,454,454
Hey you pikachu games sold: 2,545,454
total n64's sold: 34,343,665

Now for gamecube!

Super Smash bros. melee games sold: 12,434,344
Pikimin games sold: 3,434,343
wave race blue storm games sold: 6,455,454
total gamecubes sold: 19,546,546

Are those worldwide figures? The GCN hasn't even been out for one year yet...has it?

Anyway, I think this comparison is a bit of a stupid one to make. For starters, games like Mario 64 were available right from the off. Super Mario Sunshine, however, what looks to be the first definite Killer App, is a few months away at least.

The N64 was also...a great failure for Nintendo. Much like the DC, IMO, it had the best games on offer but didn't get the sales. Also, it was only really up against the PSX, so to look at it very basically, it would have one half of all sales. Now though, the GCN would only get a third (not taking into consideration popularity and all that jazz).

We've had what, 5 years to look at the N64. The GCN is in its infancy. You can't compare them, it's stupid.

Hmm you are basing it on the number of games sold?

I thought it was the actual playability of the games that made a console good not the number sold.

Besides like others have said GC is only just out.

How can you compare a games console which has been out for a couple of years with a console which has been out for 3 days?
?

This guy rules!!!

No game has ever sold that many games, you pillok. I think the all time best selling game is one of the FF games, an it isn't anywhere near having sole almost 700 million copies, fruitcake!!

:D
