Also, most of the Model 2 games were garbage. The only one people will go out of their way to play today is Daytona. There's nothing of the stature of Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time or pretty much Rare's entire output for the system.
What's this got to do with the question being asked?
No one denies Nintendo, along with Rare produced a handful of masterpieces for the N64, but that's all it was, a handful.
The rest was just as bad as the shovelware crap that infested the PS1, just less of it.
If your 3rd parties don't bring anything to the table, your hardware will be a (relative) failure, which the N64 was.
..also, thank fuck emulated screenshots don't look as bad as a proper N64, because the image quality output of the N64 was a piece of shit, it didn't even have an RGB option which was the standard in Europe, Composite and SVHS are an abomination in comparison.
..even Super Mario 64 with it's bold,colourful cartoon visuals was blur 'o' vision on European TV screens compared to the technically inferior polygons of the RGB SCART output of the PS1.
