Comment Playstation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Playstation 2 (Score 1) 78

It's good that Nintendo is going to jump in the game again after Nintendo 64. I think why that didn't pick up is that they waited too long and PSX just filled up the market too much. The same may happen now but I'm not all that sure Nintendo will let the same thing happen again. Since PSX 2 will be multiprocessor (just like Sega Saturn), it is difficult to make games for it because you constantly have to synchronize the processors. Thats why Sega Saturn didn't run that much, so they have redesigned it and came up with the Dreamcast which I've played and is pretty good. This shows that Sega has learned, now it'll be Nintendo's turn. Since PSX 2 will come out at the end of next year. Thats taking into account the gaming industry isn't on time. The Dreamcast will do the same thing the Playstation did, it'll fill up the market before the second one had a chance to come out, despite the power the later system shows.

I already have a nice Sony DVD player, I'll never get a game system/disc player because I think each component has a purpose and thats it so I can change around the configuration of all the components to my wishes.

But things and people change.
