>2017 >Can't get a console in the color of your choosing

Everyone else but you grew up

When they figured out color theory, and realized people would just buy 1-2 colors from 6 of choosing, and the rest would sit there and gather dust.

Middle left is my colour.

It is my colour forever.

this, who the fuck ever bought an orange N64

>>375744714
I remember one interview with Reggie said that Amerilard retailers get pissed off if you give them too many SKUs to stock. That's why Japan got a like 10 colors for each iteration of 3DS and Amerifats got like 2.

nobody's gonna abstain from a console because it's not in their favorite color, but a lot will choose to not buy one console if it's an ugly color and they have other options

>>375745003
Fuck, I hate americans.

>>375745003
>sell like two colors
>one of them is purple

maybe in your cute little european countries with ten people in them you can sit around until three in the morning counting your inventory, but in america we're dealing with a '''''''''''''''''slightly'''''''''''''' higher demand.

>variety equals nostalgia

I thought all of the color options were pure shit. Looking at the pic in OP, I want at least 4 of them now.

>>375744714
The N64 was only available in one colour at launch. Those extra colours were released after the N64 became irrelevant.

>>375744714
I want to personally assassinate the guy whon invented DLC, the one who invented multiplayer, and the one who invented online games. That's where cancer comes from.

You're a fucking idiot.

I had that blue one long before the GameCube was ever announced.

>>375745003

Because >>375744881 is right. If you released all 10 Jap colors in the States, 99% of consumers would get one or two of them, probably the most neutral and inconspicuous colors, while the rest gather dust and clog shelves.

>>375744881
Black, blue and red will always be most popular. Maybe silver as special edition.

>>375746865
ebin sega has put out a lot of quality stuff in the current year.

>>3757465412
Games should be offline, so no shitty "DLC", expansions, DRM, downloading shit, etc...., and multiplayer is only good for social/sport/MMO games like SSB, WoW, etc..., other games (Adventure, shooters, horror, etc...) should always be 1 player adventure

Nah nigga, it's the demographic that makes them toys.

I would rather customize my console with graphitti and decals and wood paneling ect. Wood paneling is awesome.

it's a lot easier to keep inventory when your items are coming off a truck rather than a boat.

>>375747580
and where do you think those trucks come from? they come from shipyards. when you're importing merchandise from overseas it's always best to keep things as simple as possible. higher chance of items being damaged, stolen, or going missing for a marginally higher profit? it's not worth it. and anyway, if you ever worked as an assistant manager in a department store i wouldn't have to explain why SKUs of different products from the same company are annoying.

>>375748586
they all start with the same five numbers, so it's very, very, very, very easy to lose count.

>>375748729
So then just match the beginning starting numbers then look at the last few digits to take inventory. I did that shit all the time and very rarely lost count doing inventory.
>>375748586
No shit.

>>375744956
I'm currently trying to find one of those orange funtastic N64s. They're not so common because nobody bought them back then.

>>375748729
that honestly sounds like it would be easy to keep up with, because essentially all you need to do is look at the last set of numbers like >>375749015
said.

>>375748586
>>375748729
Someone who packs things to be shipped off here, just look at the last few digits - it's what I do every hour when i have to verify material UPN's, knock of the first 3 digits and look at the last 3 since that's where the difference will be.

>>375749015
>>375749340
do you people think i was looking at this shit on a computer or something? you have to physically go to the receiving department with a clipboard and a powerful stimulant if you expect to get any work done.

And people wonder why the company is crashing, they constantly make terrible decisions.

It's all just a massive grind. Hang in there, dude.

>>375744714
Realistically. I've only ever seen the black and purple N64, that is what all my friends had.

I've never seen a fucking orange, green or red one.

>those names
What the fuck nintendo

>>375751191
Grape? Dude, that's atomic purple. I know because the N64 I got for Christmas came with an atomic purple controller, but the console is regular black. Hence, the name stuck with me.

>>375752167
No, atomic purple was lighter and more transparent. Grape is darker and more opaque.
