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.
