Why are you lumping it under one umbrella "argument"? There aren't many entrants in this contest; it's easy to examine them individually. The NES was a huge deal in 1985 (though not big enough to reverse a tripling). The SNES was a huge deal in 91. The N64 was a huge deal in 96. Apart from the Wii (which hasn't aged well), I'm not sure if there are any consoles that were that hyped in their launch year. I think the voters would have recognized that, which is why I feel the SNES is a much bigger deal for 91 than the PS1 would have been for 95. I question whether the voters would have recognized which console had good launch titles. I don't think they would have. Having the launch games in the pic would be the same effect. But I don't think "this console had killer apps at launch" would be a factor otherwise. <cite>creativename posted [p:879484827] in Rigged Con...
