People were just smarter about their purchases back then is all. Those systems failed because they tried to much, to soon. Had people gone for those systems like they do today then who knows how much gaming would cost now. Maybe it is because I have been watching and playing since Nintendo was popular, the first time, maybe it is because I saw the trend of testing and testing what the market will bear but I just find it silly to rush out and give in to the tests.

Here is my video game memory lane..... Remember how Sega started packaging with no second controller and no game, we bought it anyway? Remember how Nintendo started putting out a new system every 5 years or so and killed off the old one after never really putting out a lot of games, we still bought it? Remember how Sony released the PSX with double the price of anything we had seen before but had a peice of shit laser reader, we still bought it? Remember Sega came out with the dreamcast knowing it was in trouble, spent way to much on advertising and then flopped? Remember how Sony then released the PS2 and it also had a shit laser (DISK READ ERROR ANYONE), well some of you bought it, I waited. Remember Microsoft came out with a system AFTER the PS2 that barely could prove its superiority while making you buy a remote just to play DVD which was standard on the competition's machine and will not play some DVDs. And the whopper, I mean the one that takes the cake. Microsoft releases a system that they KNEW would crash just like they did with Win98 and still you buy.

If the consumers would wake up instead of staying up to be the first in line to buy up the crap they are throwing you then the market would be controlled. I don't care how much money I have, not going to play into their game, be the first on the block to buy it, then watch as within a year or so the price cuts in half? I don't think so. I will be happy to just play it at your house for free.........
