That's why I considered it a flop. It got Nintendo in a position to compete with Sony and eventually Microsoft but they couldn't follow through with the GameCube... they tried to introduce the mini discs and developers didn't want to invest the extra money to use that technology... not to mention inferior graphics... But N64, despite its use of built in memory... was a inferior system to the playstation in just about every aspect... remember how you had to buy those extra "rumble packs"??? those were built into the Dual Shock PS controllers........ With Sony you had any game you'd want to play... With the cartridges of the 64 there were, once again, less developers interested.... this time because cartridges were known to be dead technology outside portable systems... in the end... the 64 flopped. There were games still being produced for the PS loooooooooooong after the 64 was a fossil in the game industry.
