    Do you think the Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo will make the list?

    Color and SP in shamble (I figure they’re wrapped up in the original consoles, but still)

    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.

      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.

        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).

        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.

            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

    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

    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.
