I agree. I used to play Goldeneye for hours and hours on end. But I think in the end PS1 showed it had way better graphics and it may have been one of the reasons why it toppled Nintendo.
I say one of the reasons, they also had good games, and secured a lot of 3rd party titles.
Anyone remember the Crash Bandicoot commercials from PS1? Man those were good.
But games like MGS and FF showed how CD was way better than cartrige for all kinds of reasons.
I prefer some titles on console, and some on PC. I like to play strategy games, which tend not to be fun on the console because of controls and other reasons. I mostly play my RPGs, FPS, and sports games on the consoles.
If you actually look at the better looking games that were available for the N64 and compare them to the best looking games for the Playstation it becomes clear that the N64 had greater processing power ...
Now, the N64 had flaws (it was a bitch to program for, and memory cartridges prevented the N64 from really demonstrating its advantage when it came to texturing) but it was far more powerful; with few exceptions, 2 years of hardware development time will always allow for far greater performance when all else is kept constant.
