Comparing this generation to the last is simply unfair. During the N64's lifespan things were great for Rare, then everything changed dramatically. Their lead directors and many designers left to form their own studios and then they went from being a 2nd party of Nintendo to a 2nd party of Microsoft. Those are huge changes, so it's amazing that we got any games from them this gen. The real test will be the XB2.
