OP
Just discovered the switch is about to outsell one of my favorite consoles in the Nintendo line. If This is gonna happen Nintendo should at least start making virtual console games like super Mario 64 or even finish that super Mario 128 that never came to the GameCube. The
N64 Has sold 32.97Million units in its entire life, while the Switch has sold 32.25Million units in less than 3 years!

Your logic is... questionable at best lol

There were fewer gamers back then and the 64 sold well enough back then, but was still steamrolled by the PS1. So ~33mil isnt all that many units in the grand scheme of things. Mario 128 was nothing more than a tech demo and never produced, unless you want to count Mario Galaxy which in that case we already got what became of Mario 128. And Just because a console is going to outsell one of its predecessors... doesn't track. Now don't get me wrong, I would love to see N64 VC, but Nintendo is being quite coy about its older games nowadays.

I get your point about the N64 but i am old enough to remember when a console was hailed a great success if it sold over a million units lol so 33 million is no insignificant number.

i THINK SWITCH will never able to reach wii's numbers.
I also think that since the switch is almost $300 when the Wii at its time was only 250, and most of the people that bought the Wii played with their families

Eh, it makes perfect sense. It's an impressive number for a system that many people doubted..

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
