Actually, the N64 had no dedicated VRAM. It was pooled with the system memory which was more than the PSX. The amount of memory wasn't a problem.
The wii U is going to be powerful. It'll be the dreamcast in this race. Huge head start. Will do things the PS3 and 360 can only dream about, and then new consoles will come from MS and Sony, they won't be such a massive leap compared to what we're used to, and people will call shenanigans. Eat that Pachter, you trolling little bitch.
Sega's internal problems and the Saturn killed the Dreamcast. Patcher's a moron if he thinks the thing failed because of Sony.The wii U is going to be powerful. It'll be the dreamcast in this race.

Um... you remember what happened to the Dreamcast and Sega, right?
Sounds like it would confirm Pachter's general predictions (that the system will fail, or at least, not be a great success for Nintendo) more than anything else.

The Gamecube failed for all the different reasons. It was a great console specs-wise, that much is certain... however it was a console with one foot stuck in the past.True that. I adored my dreamcast, but too many mistakes were made. Lacking EA as a developer is just shooting yourself. You gotta depend on bros and fratboys to buy your console. Bros loved the gamecube. I mean, check that donald glover video!
I think the head-start will help them this time. The current HD consoles have been around for 6+ years. It's due time for a new console. As long as Nintendo has a great launch line-up and has a steady stream of titles soon after launch (I'm looking at you, Playstation Vita), they should be okay. In terms of power, it'll probably be akin to the PS2 of last-gen. Not as powerful as the PS4 or 720 but more than powerful enough to recieve ports that don't have to be toned down significantly. And if it ends up becoming the market leader, that problem is eliminated all-together.The wii U is going to be powerful. It'll be the dreamcast in this race. Huge head start.

Nintendo, fearing licensing fees created a console that was stripped off of all DVD functionality in a day and age when such functionality was a standard. Using miniDVD as a medium and shaping the console so that it would not be able to accept ordinary DVD's or CD's and never equipping it with a proper multimedia suite when the PS2 and the XBox had them was an idiotic move - media centers were all the rage at that time.
The PS2 and the XBox were both "more than just gaming consoles" - they were proper entertainment centers. The Gamecube offered too little and too late - the XBox simply had "more" to show and the PS2 already had an established library. The Cube was a quality console, but it had little chances for success when the competitors were vastly superior in many aspects.
Of course this is only one of the factors. I could go on and on about how the XBox allowed a degree of PC connectivity and the Cube didn't, about how it was the only console of its generation with no built-in drive or an add-on to add one, about how it didn't have a USB port and so on and so forth, only what for? That's all plain and obvious.
If it *had* those functions, I wouldn't be suprised if it fared better.
You could probably say something less true than this statement, but you'd have to try pretty hard.Who honestly gives a fuck about how powerful the Wii U is? It's all about the games, Bro.
A powerfull console usually means more third party support which usually means better games. That's why people didn't like the Wii. It was weak so third party developers avoided it like the plague.
I... what?I'm not sure if I will even buy A Wii-U as there's no games I want on it
Sega Genesis and Neo Geo were both more powerful than the SNES, which had all of the 3rd party support.

Since it had a Motorola 6800 in it that was faster than the custom chip in the SNES and since the system was demonstrably able to handle more sprites on screen and more layers of parallaxing background. I thought this was all common knowledge by now. I'm an SNES guy myself, and even I can admit it. SNES had the upper hand in colors supported, and by most accounts in sound as well, but not in processing.Sega Genesis and Neo Geo were both more powerful than the SNES, which had all of the 3rd party support.
Since when when was the Genesis more powerful than the SNES?
Figuratively since about the time Capcom released Street Fighter II on the SNES. Literally since about 1995 and onward. Third parties like Treasure and Technosoft released some really killer Genesis exclusives, and there were certainly lots of sports titles from EA, but all of the really heavy hitters at the time (Capcom, Konami, Square, Enix, etc.) put their support primarily or even exclusively behind Nintendo after Sega's head start was over.Since when did the SNES have all the 3rd party support?
