I don't know I think it's pretty good, I wouldn't mind if we had a SNES-type powered system for the next four-five years, I think the tech can easily last until 1999-2000 or so.

Good luck with that, with friggin Sega shortening generations by releasing the Genesis so early, well see the Ultra Nintendo Entertainment system (with even bigger sprites and even more colors!) by the end of the year in order to beat out sega (ain't they releasing a new system soon?).

These charts remind me of why I was so jaded with videogames before the 32-bit generation began.

Well, maybe it wasn't complete... remember it wasn't released in Japan until May (we, The West, got it first). Plus Sonic Spinball was released last November so it filled that gap.

Well apparently the first-generation SW didn't do much for the JAG (I'd estimate the LTD is only 21,000) since it's only in its fourth month...Do you have a release list of future Jaguar titles that might boost sales? I'm worried Atari may have released another failure.

I don't know man, the experts on game magazines have been pretty positive about the Jag, I think it's going to be big!
Edge
3rd party release list:
Edge 2
Upcoming games:
CVG
Jag "Most Likely to Succeed"!
CVG 2
Even if it fails, it's going to at least beat Sony and their silly PS-X system. Just look at that ugly F1 game:

It's pretty crazy that Sega went from this to being firmly on the road to their ultimate destruction in about 7-8 months time.
How big was Howard Lincoln taking that trip to the U.K. to check in on a small developer called Rare? Wowza.

Okay so five titles planned to be released in April, right before Easter (Is Easter in April this year?) Maybe April will be the month sales will begin to take off!
But that controller!? Is that gonna be what the controller we'll be using for future next gen 3-D games? It's looks awkward and too big. I don't like it. And $250 is too much for a video game system! Even if it is next gen.

Man, now Sony is making a console...who's next Microsoft :lol!?
No, but seriously, why don't they just remain third party developers for Nintendo & Sega and continue to let the pros make the systems?

I think the Sony machine is going to be pretty expensive. They say it's going to be as powerful as 3DO, and Sony devices always cost more than the others... it may even cost more than 3D0!

Heh...when people hear Sony, they think walkman... not video games! It might sell well initially in Japan cos they're desperate for 3D software but it's more likely Sega's next gen system will outsell it w/ all of Sega's well known arcade hits bein' ported over (and that's sayin' somethin' considering the Mega Drive's low sales). And who's going to make software for the PS-X after arrogant Sony abandoned Nintendo? It's not like there's any enmity b/w Nintendo and it's Japanese developers so they won't ever abandon Nintendo for some Sony gameman!
Edit: I just saw the price...¥50,000!! for the PS-X!? That's like $450!
Pshhh...it's gonna be nothin' but another 3DO:lol.

If you'd look in my previous threads...
They are 'adjusted'
NPD figures

They are 'adjusted', you know that company that has a monopoly over compiling sales data for video games and everything else sold in the U.S. with the power to shutdown sites that leak the numbers (i.e. shrine of data). You guys appreciate my charts: many died to make available these figures.NPD figures
Keep them coming mate!!
Really enjoying them so far, can't wait till the N64 release, Mario 64, MK, Goldeneye, ZELDA!

Actually Nintendo bolted from Sony after Yamauchi found out the terms of the agreement for the CD-ROM addon. Really funny other than that.

that edge article seems to suggest that the psx will be able to run arcade perfect ports, but everyone knows that a home console will never be able to match the quality of an arcade game.
it's just not possible.

i played that Sam and Max... DAMN was it funny.
with games this original backing up the high quality Star Wars games they've started making the last few years I don't see how LucasArts could go wrong.
mark my words, in ten years they'll be just as good if not better.

Yeah, I remember picking that one up for SNES the month it came out. I wonder what the GEN/SNES split would be on this though (My guess would be 2:1 Genesis or something)
