N64 is a different generation to both GBA and XB360, so you’re not counteracting my core point which is “platform exclusivity wasn’t a thing so much as it was the default position.” The consoles were all too different from each other to start from a cross-platform position. Ports took a lot of additional work, thus the reason they usually happened after success.

GBA was released during that generation, you might as well say XBox wasn't in the same generation because its release date was different than the Playstations.

You can say it and I'll defend your right to say whatever nonsense you want. But it doesn't refute jack.

But if you're really fussed about it, pick one of the other myriad examples. Tony Hawk, SC64, etc.

I already went through your list in another reply. I’ll not waste my time doing it again.
