And it's hard to tell which is which. And it's hard to trust the things anybody's being told. And it's not like they have much history of providing warnings for closure either. It just sucks for our digital home. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

Nintendo may not be in the poll but they exist. Even if you don't count that, the Atari Lynx came out before the Sega Game Gear. Oh wow, never heard of the Lynx before. Duly noted! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Lynx Nintendo (and Sony too) each certainly had their own handheld systems, yes.

| HaRRicH 04/25/24 1:21:07 PM #20 | I'll note that Sega is the only company here than made a handheld game system I'm aware of.
Also gonna note in terms of mascots that Master Chief, Pac-Man, and Sonic are all each huge in their own right. Also-also noting that Minecraft is the best-selling game out of anything these three companies made, though Microsoft acquiring Minecraft instead of being Minecraft's creator from the beginning may matter for some opinions. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

PS1 vs. N64 wasn't close. The PS1 sold around 100 million and the N64 sold around 30-35 million. Good correction -- I thought it was more of a 60-40 sales divide. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
| Topic | What four home consoles are on the Video Game Consoles Mount Rushmore? |
| HaRRicH 04/25/24 11:24:54 AM #104 | I feel like systems that didn't emerge from their generation as clear-cut winners have a hard case to make for this Rushmore. NES and PS2 were completely dominant, for example, and the Switch still might break the record for the most console sales ever. SNES/Genesis and N64/PS1 were much closer in comparison so it's harder to pick one of them over the rest.
Which reminds me..... HaRRicH posted... NES Drop: Xbox 360 Add: Atari 2600 (the 360/Wii/PS3-generation was the closest we've seen to a three-way tie sales-wise, so I'm gonna step back from them and go pre-crash for a rep) --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

| Topic | What four home consoles are on the Video Game Consoles Mount Rushmore? |
| HaRRicH 04/25/24 11:01:45 AM #95 | In the N64's defense, it has Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for single-player impacts while Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye shined for multi-player impacts. Its library isn't too deep and Goldeneye doesn't hold up so well a quarter-century later, but those were then-exclusive titans of that era that would stand up well in similar comparisons against most systems.
I'm not picking N64 for the Rushmore, even though it was arguably my favorite system. It has games you can't ignore, yes, but I think other consoles have stronger arguments. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

Inspired by the latest Rushmore topic about home consoles. I took out Nintendo and Sony, as they are the two likely favorites for console makers with the biggest impacts in the gaming industry. I suspect picking #3-5 is harder than picking #1-2, but feel free to call this out if you feel differently! You can consider these three companies of Atari/Microsoft/Sega at large for how they impacted gaming -- not just their consoles but also other categories you find important in the gaming industry. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

I was looking to know if there was a larger cultural reason like "it was the end theme of an anime" or something like that. I was very surprised to see it was their most played on Spotify by such a large margin. This won't explain it fully in the way you're seeking, but the play VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE by the late Christopher Durang was a 2013 Tony-winner. That show at one point talks about I don't know a closer example beyond that, and I would predict Here Comes The Sun was already held in similar esteem before this play came out about a decade ago.

I don't get all these votes for Here Comes the Sun. (Beatles-topic closed while I was writing this) Once upon a time, my mom was pregnant when she heard Here Comes The Sun with George Harrison singing on the radio...and now I'm named after one of the Beatles. I flip-flop if Here Comes The Sun is a top-four song of theirs or not, but the song definitely has popularity and personal impacts for people. It's just a beautiful song that's unique in their library. If you feel like Mt. Rushmore should represent more than just Lennon and McCartney, Here Comes The Sun feels like a pretty easy next choice. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

I resent how anticlimactic the ending was, to the point that it's soured me on returning to newer Phoenix Wright games. I tried with SoJ, and I just couldn't muster through its first two or maybe three cases. As a PW fan who played the original trilogy and skipped Apollo Justice, PW:DD is a relatively good game that committed the ultimate sin of a weak-ass ending. I do like some of the other things going on in this case like the courtroom ruins -- man, what a moment that was -- so it's not all bad.
