Which was better: Nintendo 64 or Playstation?

[marktheshark275]

I shall break this down:

Game Selection: I don't think the N64's 3rd party was as bad as people made it out to be. Even without most Rareware games.I still have fun with the N64. PSX has obviously a bigger selection, but more of it's games are crappy. Many PSX games that I know of don't even use analog support.

3D Power: N64 wins almost flawlessly in this department. The blurryness & it's limited texture cache I can tolerate. PSX has somewhat better textures, but in my opnion, what good is that when most of it's games look really pixellated & jaggy?

2D power: The PSX is pretty weak when it comes to 2D. It's low amount of RAM really cripples it. The N64 has twice the RAM of the PSX & that's just without the expansion pak. Unfortunately, there arn't many games on the N64 which take advantage of N64's 2D power so it's kinda a draw for now.

Sound: PSX obviously. 

Ease of Controller use: It's a draw. A PSX controller with 2 analog sticks+Rumble+PSX game with analog support=awesome. The N64 controller is also easy to use once you get used to the controller.

Memory paks: It's a draw

 

In conclusion, I prefer the N64. There's a few PSX games that I'm intrested in however, like Mega Man Legends 2, Jumping Flash!, Street Fighter Alpha 3, & maybe GTA 1 & 2. For the most part, N64 wins however.

Besides, I'm not intrested in many PSX games, and please don't even try to show me a list of good PSX games if most of them are gonna be RPG's.
