It won. Admit it. Even the new lame Neo Geo isn't half as exciting as a 90% functional old C64. Shit you can even get around a bad RAM chip if you're clever.

>fewer ports than the Apple II
>slower than IBM
You're missing the most important things these computers lacked - sprites, graphics, and sound, if you even deign to bring them up. Commodore 64 won.

Since the beginning of this month there are 125 new releases.

Playstation 5 has 24 exclusive games. It came out in 2020. That's 2 per YEAR. Versus 32-ish per week for the C64 even after 44 years on the market.

Famicom has nothing. No graphics. No real sound. No RAM. It's a tax dodge. Cheap Japanese crap.

What about the "Japanese devs used the Apple II to develop NES games" Anon?

This is fucking amazing. Eventually we'll get to the point where C64 will outdo the Xbox.

I think it's fairly accept that they're the same schizo at this point.

lol, no
cramming the whole thing on ROM is not a new programming technique

omg, look, thanks to new programming techniques, NES can stream movies now

And just like that, another auster thread is exposed.

Most of his OPs tend to be variations of the same theme.

I would be interested in that Ultimate C64 thing if it had expanded architecture: higher resolutions, more colors, more sprites, stuff like that
To me it looks like Commodore overestimated the demand, because they watched The C64 Mini sell something like 300k units.
I think they were selling presales at a loss and hoped to make money back later but nobody is buying it after the price went up. Those 20k units is all they sold. And that Perifractic guy pretty much disappeared.
So, yeah, I don't think there will be interesting new hardware coming out.
