Do you think the Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo will make the list?
The question is… Over or under Virtual Boy?
I still regret not snagging one from KB dirt cheap. They lined the top of every aisle.
Legend says they’re still there.
Same. I swear they were $20 one day we breezed through Toys R Us, and I could not convince my mom to grab one.
So I bought one on eBay a decade later.
No
Virtual boy: 770,000
I put way too many hours into that machine. No wonder I’m immune to LASIK.
I’m so upset a Virtual Boy Wario game hasn’t been remade.
I thought it was peak gaming and it didn’t do anything complex.
3DS was the perfect opportunity and Nintendo did not give a tiniest shit.
Someone made a virtual boy emulator for the 3ds (Nintendidn’t), and those games just show how much potential they wasted with the 3DS.
Did anyone make a game where the 3D was necessary for gameplay? Absolutely everything I’ve seen on the console it was optional (except for the emulated VB games).
The screen had a slider where you could turn it off. It kinda had to be optional.
I’m still seeing red.
Wow. My top 3 are in the bottom 4. Feels good.
Color and SP in shamble (I figure they’re wrapped up in the original consoles, but still)
DS Lite, too
Crazy to see the N64 so far down the list. I was a Sega-, then Sony-kid but it seemed like the N64 had a better market share than the graphic would imply. Might just be confirmation bias based on my age though.
The N64 had mediocre sales and a trickle of releases, but the hits kept coming, and some of them were transformative. It’s like if the Wii U had a Wind Waker level success every six months.
Fuck, I meant Breath of the Wild.
Same. I imagine that game quality has someting to do with it. Total number of units may be lower, but I can list n64 games that i loved even now. A lot of them. Sega for me was sonic and thats mostly it. Ps1 games is a mixed bag. I have vague memories, but nothing was that special. It was just a console that ran on a disk. Those cartridges though are permanent in my mind.
I feel like the DS Lite sold better than the OG DS?
Makes sense.
I bought FOUR Nintendo DSes.
Two Nintendo DSes for my wife and I. Gave one to my cousin as a gift. Then bought a DS XL for Zelda.
I can’t confirm this for the people I know… why do you think it would have sold better than the original DS? People who bought the DS Lite probably didn’t already own the DS, and people who already owned the DS probably didn’t have a reason to buy the Lite version (apart from a new and sleeker design, I can’t remember any groundbreaking innovations that would justify buying another DS onsole for many people, unlike the DSi with its new camera function).
Till date?
Two date
At first I thought it had to do with cash registers. People using “till” in place of “‘til” or “until” drives me crazy.
(Also, using “a” like in “two times a year” creeps me out too. Sure, I say “a year” but in writing it looks sloppy.)
“till” and “til” are both absolutely fine to use as an abbreviation for “until”
In fact the double-L spelling has been around longer
Because right now in 2024 we have the word “until” (one L) so using the word till as an abbreviation looks dumb as shit.
huh? so you say “two times year”? that’s crazier.
Why would you assume they say nothing instead of the correct word, per?
Because they only mentioned what creeps them out, offering no option (hence my comment) instead of the «correct» one.
plus my mind blanked, heh
Nope
… I still don’t get it. Till? Two?
Aight, I’m a modern Nintendo hater, but the DS lite was so good. It had a great games library, an excellent layout that didn’t cramp my hands as a child or an adult, and a solid touch screen. Peer to peer networking was so nice in an era where you very rarely had internet anywhere and it was never fast enough for gaming.
I think I must’ve spent hours in pitcochat alone. Plus, my almost 20 year old DS lite still works. I used it to play some of the Layton games just recently! I did manage to break one, but that was cause my mother put some obnoxiously large case on it that made it impossible to play anything. Tried ripping it off and tore the sections in half
It’s this individual models? There were so many diffetent DS models
If I understood the original PDF correctly, this contains all models of the generation. This applies also to the different GBA models.
As of August 2024, cumulative sales of Sony’s PlayStation 4 gaming console had risen to roughly 117.2 million units
Nintendo Switch was the best-selling video game console worldwide in 2022
the Xbox One, was put to market in 2013 and sold roughly 58 million units in total until the end of its lifespan in 2020.
That is such a death sentence looking at the switch. There are probably more than 10 times more gamerz than there were at the DS release but they did not sell more at all.
When the switch was released, everyone already had a smartphone capeable for gaming. This was not the case in 2004.
