I owned both, and still own both. Outside of a handful of PS1 games, most of the library has aged very poorly, where I still play my N64 regularly.
Graphically, there is no comparison between the two. The only games on the PS1 that look "better" tend to have pre-rendered backgrounds.
Ever play Quake on the PS1? Awful. The system truly couldn't handle real 3-d games. N64 brought us the first great console fps games, and so much more.
Also, to the guy who said the 2600 had analog control, it did not. Show me analogue anything on the 2600. You couldn't control the speed of a character by pressing more or less in a direction. That system was digital.
And while the 5200 was "analog", the controls were so awful that atari had to scrap them.
The N-64 launched the first truly good analog controls. And sorry if you think they were bad, 'cause they weren't. ;)
Also, does anybody see the resemblance to the wii remote in the n-64 controls?
