True, most computers are bought for applications.
HOWEVER, computers evolve for games.  No one would buy a new
PII 300 for Word 8.0, they buy it to have the power that modern games
demand.
And no, a n64 is nowhere in the universe of a PII 300 in terms of REAL
games.
I dare you to show me a decent simulation, or adventure game not on a PC.
ie. Grand Prix II is probably the closest game (without force feedback or
motion devices)
to real life auto racing in terms of physics.  Yeah, all those "outrun",
mario, and Wolfeinstein clones on n64
realllly look "great".
