"N64" "advanced" ?
the N64 was a shambles of a console. Much like the Jaguar before it, developing games for the N64 was a nightmare. Despite being a 64-bit machine and actually quite powerful under the hood, it was hideously marred by the fact it ran on cartridges when CD drives had already proven a better storage medium for games, both in terms of storage space and read speeds.
It had some fun games, but ultimately it was a mess of a console. Notice how the only people who really defend it are the ones who owned one? I'm the same with the Dreamcast - I know it's a shoddy console, I know it's not actually 128-bit, I know it was a nightmare to develop for and there's only a few good games for it but DAMMIT IT HAS SHENMUE ON IT AND IT'S THEREFORE THE BEST CONSOLE EVER MADE!

The best thing about the dreamcast was that it ran divx.
