No, I indeed was alive in 1990.

 

How alive? As in breathing, or still a blob, swimming in liquid?

 

I have to admit I was thinking the same as CPUWIZ... I grew tired of reading this pseudo flame war.

 

 

The best gaming era was the 80's.

But the most powerful consoles on the market are also the ones with the biggest followings. This isn't 1990 and the comparison doesn't work, because no matter how you look at it nintendo went from leading to losing what 40% market share that gen. It's hard for them to go anywhere but up at this point.

But...that's completely false...

 

The 2600 was weaker than its competitors.

 

The NES was weaker than the SMS

 

The Genesis/SNES battle was about equal in terms of sales so that's hard to say

 

The PS1 was weaker than the N64

 

The PS2 is weaker than the Xbox and the Cube

 

The console with the best library win every time - gamers generally aren't stupid enough to buy a system based solely on system specs. You can have the most powerful system ever, sell it for $100 and if the games aren't there, it will not sell. Your post is utterly and completely incorrect.

For the last time I'm talking CURRENTLY, as of right now the sony and microsoft hold the biggest market share. And they will have the strongest followings and systems, that was worded poorly and I'm sorry for it.

Now, if you exclude other eras, you have no point, as it makes your statememnt in the first sentence inherently flawed.

 

Why you are limiting your scope is beyond me.

 

No, it isn't. You're trying to prove a point with flawed data, W.
