Two own neither a PSX or N64 also, two pretty much non gamers. A lot of other people I know also have them.

I'm not into fighting games much, but Hydro Thunder and Ready 2 Rumble also are favorites of mine, especially R2R multiplayer. I hate to admit that my N64 may have an extended rest period now that I have this, just because it has so much more to offer that I'm interested in. Lots of game variety, and good variety at that. And I'm excited to see the implementation of this internet multiplayer action. Other than the few Rare (or RARE) games I may be interested in, I'm not seeing much else in the near future to keep my N64 very active.

I'm assuming you're referring to Sony and Nintendo I personally don't believe the defects are that big of a deal, but there is a pr problem on sega's hands right now. And it ads negatives on an otherwise positive launch while of course is a loss, since Sega was expting all positives. The underlying problem is that they are coming off a bad, and i mean very bad public relations desaster with Saturn (a lot of people are seething with anger because they dropped it so soon) and 32X. I know these two "escape goats" have been brought up in every article about Sega you can find lately, but its because its true. And to have what was suppose to be a launch that is to redeem sega go wrong, (I know there are gamers out there who wasted many hours just trying to get their software to work) is not the best anyone wanted to see.

No, but because they're getting consumer awareness. Nothing Sony or Sega has (currently) can compete with the pokemon craze. But, Sega AT LEAST has to let the public know what they have. The mobile assault tour. Sponsoring the MTV awards. If we go by your 'oh so accurate what my friends are getting' survey, then, by my friends, the DC will be a hit. So who do we believe? The point is that Sega has to start somewhere and although you can't recognize anything outside of your narrow point of view, they have. >Notice how I did not only say that I'm not getting one?

Still not that a big deal. They owned up to the problem on the day of the launch. Much better than Sony who denied that a problem existed for months and charged people like $70+ to have the FMV skipping/overheating problem fixed. And Sony still had great sales...I think this is much less of a problem and Sega is already handling it far better.

Nintendo lives on recognition alone...and little kids who can't see beyond Pokeman. If you read the newsgroups, Nintendo actually has a fairly bad reputation right now. I honestly can't figure out what has been keeping the N64 afloat..it is a marketing marvel that the crap they put out sells. As I have said before, they do have some good games coming, DKC64 and JFG, but it has been a long time since anything worth crap has come out...yet somehow they still survive?
