The Nintendo 64 was called that because of its graphics or something, I dunno.
it was the 1st 64 bit console where the psx was only 32bit. nintendo used to make the most powerful consoles b4 sony but they now they switched places :P
Potential was there, but they effed up with a crappy storage medium.
thats why the psx dominated it games eventually started using thir own extra rom space on the carts but by than it was too late psx had won. you'd think they would have learned but no they made the same mistake on the cube again with only half the storage space was on them crappy little discs where the psx 2 used the full size of a REAL dvd!

Well, to be fair, the N64 still had great games despite its flaws. Also, I don't think that the PS2 one because it had superior storage alone, I think the biggest factor was that it has AMAZING 3rd party support. That said, so did the Wii, but the Wii's 3rd party support was mostly made up of shovelware. Now, that said, the Gamecube had amazing first-party games (and a crapton, looking back at it), and afaik allowed for better graphics (though there were few cases in which they were actually taken advantage of), but the PS2 had such a huge library of good games; there was no contest.

AT LAST YEAR'S E3
Reggie: We believe our next console is not only for everyone to play, but also tailor made just for you. So we're calling it the WiiU.
Audience: *boos* *throws tomatoes and shoes at stage*

AT THIS YEAR'S E3
Reggie: Scratch that. We decided that was a dumb name. We're calling it the WiiT where 'T' stands for the ugly Tablet controller. Incidentally, WiiT rhymes with ET, who was also ugly.

An off topic question, but how do you raise the U and T?
