This is merely speculation but here are the facts that I gathered...
1997-DN3D ports are released (close around this time) for the 3 major consoles Saturn, N64, PSX.Out of all 3 the N64 port (despite being heavily censored) had the best performance. Why? well simple at that time the N64 had total dominance of the FPS genre. Games like doom,quake,dukenukem & 1997/98 game of the year goldeneye was kicking ass.
2001-DNF shows its demo video on E3 promising ports on PS2 & XBOX (Possibly for xbox, screw ps2),The nintendo gamecube is launched is launch - same time nintendo starts planning for nintendo Wii, Xbox launches Halo - plus along the side PS2 released GTA3 to compete with halo...
2002-Halo is now known as the #1 alien ass kicker, and GTA is known as the #1 parent piss off software, two main points that duke nukem reclaimed himself but now lost.Duke Nukem Manhattan project was launched.......no I wanted DNF.......duke nukem 1 & 2 all over again.
2003-Screens of Doom 3 have begun popping up everywhere , compare that to DNF 2001 video demo...good luck DNF your long time enemy ID have worked up one hell of a good game..
2004-Delayed possibly to improve graphics for both console port & PC version
2005-Console port getting a makeover but its too late, the 5 year lifespan is almost up, the next gen years are coming up.
2006-Nintendo is trying to shed its kiddy image by making a multi age user console, it has the same specs as a xbox 1st gen, its cost efficient to make, http://wii.ign.com/a...1/711941p1.html take 2 will support this console,
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/10/500-000-...ever-this-year/ take 2 offers half a grand to finish DNF by end of 2006, end of 2006 nintendo's new console launches.
