People don't want racing, they just want to collect cars, which is why Gran Turismo is so popular.

What do you mean?
Everyone appreciated Ridge Racer. It's half the reason the PSX was a hit when it came out.
>>
It was a Playstation launch title. Not everyone had one of those as soon as it came out, you know? Slow burn. I didn't have a Playstation then myself but I got to play it and I loved it. But you can imagine once the system reached critical mass and everyone owned one Ridge Racer from 1995 was not high on everyone's list. The sequels and stuff, well, there were a lot more racing games by that point so it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. It's not like now where the release of *not retro, censored* manages to be a massive important deal that everyone cares about.

Because everyone was upset that they patented the mini-game during loading screen feature.

What was even the point of the psp, genuinely. What did sony expect, that they could just waltz into the portable gaming market which historically was completely dominated by Nintendo?

Not /vr/ but did ridge racer 6 and 7 flop? Why did they stop after 7?

>>12656528
It sold 80mil anon. It scared nintendo enough the kill the gba early and throw the ds onto market

>>12656157
Not fully retro but I'd say that the E3s between 2006 to 2010 had the best memes, with maybe Xbox's shitshow with the introduction of the Xbox One in 2013. No one will ever forget the shitshow that was 2008's Nintendo conference or ONE MIRRION TROOPS WAOW in 2010.

Arcade racing games as a whole died during the 7th gen. Like >>12656203 said, people don't like racing cool cars so much as collecting and driving cool cars.
