I don't know when you'll get this through your firetrucking skulls.

The sega thing was more powerful than the nes

The neogeo and the like were more powerful than snes

Ps1 was weakest of its gen

Ps2 was weakest of its gen

Wii was weakest of its gen. And yes, it's still top selling

Dreamcast was the most powerful more than Ps1

 

Sony didn't enter the console race based on power,otherwise if we compared

 

We can see a huge difference between the in-game graphics of FFIX and Ocarina of time

 

 

Ps2 was weaker than the first Xbox too

 

But that didn't matter anyway because Sony's consoles had cheaper prices than the Dreamcast,N64,and Xbox and that's a huge reason for why they were selling

 

Weaker hardware=less production cost=cheap price

 

Dude no one here is hating on Sony CALM THE SHIT DOWN.......We get it Sony is God in the form of an Electroic company

 

No one here is saying anything against Sony,we're praising them because they managed to have many great games despite the limitations of the hardware back then

 

 

Power doesn't matter that much if developers weren't creative

 

I never bought any of my consoles based on their power

 

I bought them because I want to play games that I want to play

 

I have both a Ps3 and a Wii and I'm happy with both especially my Wii

 

Did you just read my post above? 

 

And I never said Sony were gods. Lol. In fact the only Sony products I've ever purchased are the PSOne, PS2 & PS3. I won't buy anything else from them. Lol. My TV and Blu-ray player are Panasonic, my smartphone is Smasung and my ultrabook is Dell. I simply go for which ever brand is best at each.

I read your post

 

but everytime we mention a Sony console you go backshit insane just like in this thread and the one before it

 

And numbers doesn't equal love,you can buy only a Ps3 and still love Sony....nothing wrong with loving them as long as you don't go nuts like in this thread

 

You didn't say Sony is the god of gaming,but every post you made says so even if you didn't say it directly

We can see a huge difference between the in-game graphics of FFIX and Ocarina of time

 

That Ocarina of Time screenshot wasnt taken from the N64 tho..

That Ocarina of Time screenshot wasnt taken from the N64 tho..

it's not the 3DS remake,it's the N64 version and even if it's taken from an N64 emulator or an n64 itself it won't matter...the difference is clear

 

and before someone points out CGI cutscenes,I'm talking about in-game,not CG cutscenes

it's not the 3DS remake,it's the N64 version and even if it's taken from an N64 emulator or an n64 itself it won't matter...the difference is clear

I wasnt implying it was taken from the 3DS, but still, point taken

I apologize, in the posts I made on this topic I wasn't thinking clearly. I was annoyed. What I posted here was wrong, I'll admit that. 

 

My true thoughts can be found here: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/66065-i-wonder-which-will-win-the-new-gen-of-consoles/?p=1292538

 

As you can see in my true thoughts, I never once mentioned power, I mentioned hardware. In my annoyance I confused the two on this topic. But in that link are my true thoughts.

That Ocarina of Time screenshot wasnt taken from the N64 tho..

 

It's a poor example to compare it to FFIX as well. FFIX's size taken into consideration and also it's art style (intentionally going for that more 32-bit look)

Compare it to something like Metal Gear Solid, or Resident Evil and the whole point of that post has no ground to stand on.

 

But that's beside the point. I agree with Cucco here, hardware has never been the true selling point behind consoles.

 

You don't even have to argue the semantics of which consoles were more powerful to understand that... all you have to do is look at the Wii. The Wii was a console hardly any more powerful then the Gamecube. It didn't even output in full HD resolution. It was so far behind the PS3 and XBOX 360 that it's laughable... and yet it sold like hotcakes. Not because of it's power, not even because of it's gimmick, but because of how accesible it was.

 

A consoles true selling points comes down to how accessible it is, how friendly it is to consumers, how good the games are that are coming out for it or that you can look forward to on it, and when it really comes down to it, how rabid and/or loyal (pick one.) it's fanbase is.

 

And a word to Sora96... how about instead of living in constant denial of certain facts, you just accept that not everyone is going to blindly agree with your percieved notions of Sony's absolute perfection. Fact of the matter is it's not Sony's hardware power alone that has kept them going strong for the past three generations of gaming. (Even though the PS3 and the PS4 both have the 360 and One beat, respectively... correct me if I'm wrong?) Sony won out not for sheer power alone, but because of accessibility...

 

Other facts that you are denial of is how Sony has borrowed concepts. Playstation Move in the wake of the Wii... PSVita/PS4 connection through remote play that so resembles the Wii U... the original Playstation controller being little more then an SNES controller with handles.

 

But even that is not a fault that lies in Sony, in fact, it's not a fault at all. It's a good thing. Taking one concept and refining it is how we've got to be where we are today in gaming.

 

I know that has nothing to do with this thread, that's a whole other seperate tangent.

 

I digress.

Weaker systems typically do sell more cause they're generally "family friendly" rather than "hardcore" that dedicated gamers would go for.  When your 3 year old cousin, teenage daughter, father and aging grandma can all find a game that caters to them on one system they're clearly gonna get more use than buying one that can play really fancy strategy games for the one person in the family who cares for that.  Wii's whole marketing strategy was catering to the whole family.  

 

Wii is basically "Mass Marketing".  Aimed at a lot of people, at a low price. 

The PS3 and 360 were "Niche marketing".  Aimed at a smaller specific clientele, at a high price.  

Im just going to say the N64 was more powerful, and both the gamecube and Xbox were more powerful, not an opinion just cold hard fact.

 

Also @Sora96 you say what you said in this topic was a mistake and then provide a link to another topic saying that is your true feelings. But I read the same nonsense in that topic as well, with you saying PS is better and Nintendo always has the worst hardware.
