I'm split. I had PS1, n64, and Saturn at some point.
...I have to say for the innovation that the n64 brought, 3D(Oarina of Time), analog control stick for example, I give Nintendo the nod for hardware.
...Sony on the other hand brought diversity in it's software, so it gets the nod there, and if that I would say Sony.
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
