The N64 was a powerful powerful console. More powerful that PCs when it launched (if I'm not mistaken).

More powerful than most PCs, certainly. There was 3dfx Voodoo card for PCs (which was better than N64), but it was pure 3D accelerator (going for around $200) and you had to have regular 2D card in addition to display anything. But it was mind blowing at the time seeing Quake running on it.
