Date: June 3rd, 2025 10:25 PM Author: Henna brunch crotch I agree 100%. It got swiftboated. Also for some reason PS1 just caught a second wind around that time and was popular af. People would rather play Resident Evil 3 and Parasite Eve than actual next-gen games. N64 was almost completely dead by 9/9/99.
People also underestimate how many Gamers gave up on N64 and said fuck it and got PS1s. Another Console at that point was a bridge too far. If people bought a PS1 in '95, no N64, and then Dreamcast came in '99, more would've gotten the Dreamcast. But ps1 sold more than the previous year like every year it existed until 2000.
By the way, it's never been about the games. Never has been, and never will be. |

Date: June 4th, 2025 7:31 AM Author: Henna brunch crotch It’s always been about the Console War. Anything you hear to the contrary is a feint. It’s about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Consoles like PS2 and Switch sell ridiculous amounts BECAUSE they Won. People want to Win. A lot.

I also remember the video game chain I got it at had the most 90s name: "Software Etc" |

Date: June 4th, 2025 10:12 PM Author: Violet Effete Becky Persian I wanted those games too but made a deal with my friend that he would be getting those games and we'd play them all at each other's houses. We even got them at Software Etc too.
Wtf, just realized you're probably the friend I'm talking about. |

Date: June 5th, 2025 12:28 AM Author: Grizzly twinkling uncleanness cuck I got Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, and Soul Calibur. You didn't even have to preorder or wait in line to get one. My mom just went to target mid-morning and grabbed it for me. Drove home a few hours from university that afternoon and went buckwild with it. Made sure to rent FF8 and burn it that weekend before I went back. Epic times.
I think the next game I got may have been NBA 2k and then when I saw how insane it was I went back and picked up NFL 2K.
I still have my dreamcast and all games. About 50 or so, including an Ikaruga import.

Date: June 6th, 2025 1:37 PM Author: Exhilarant windowlicker background story I remember everyone my age (young-teen) was thinking "yeah it's great but playstation 2 and nintendo's next console are right around the corner and those will probably be better." At that point nintendo and sony had their armies of supporters and Sega was an afterthought, not to be trusted. Everyone remembered the badass looking "first-release" consoles in the early 90's that went nowhere (Jaguar, 3DO, Sega's 50 different post genesis iterations).
