It seems to me like Nintendo Consoles are the most collected consoles in the hobby. I understand that Sega and Atari has less of a fan base because they are out of the industry, but why are Sony and Microsoft less collected for hen say N64 and GameCube?
ignition365:
There are more variations of N64 and Gamecube, also Nintendo has that nostalgia.  Microsoft isn't near nostalgia yet.  Sony is just now getting there, but PSX only really had 2 versions (not going to nit pick about variations of the OG model).

Well also you got to realize the GameCube were not as popular as the PlayStation 2 or Xbox so it's not as widely available as those 2 and I feel people are just now seeing how amazing the GameCube's library actually is and are starting to get those games. As for N64 kind of the same reason + people who grew up with it now having disposable income. Basically the same reason NES & SNES prices shot up.

That was big back in the day. The Ps3's blue ray was useless though.
