Still don't understand why the N64 wasn't the #1 console of that gen?

PS1 disrupted the industry in the same way that Wii is doing now. You can't blame just one particular thing that the N64 did wrong like saying carts were the reason. It was a combination of things and the fact that the PS1 did things better in the eyes of consumers.

Besides a few things I noticed were..

- N64 had no decent fighters. Super Smash Bros. not good enough for you?
- OoT is the best game of all time. Never owned it but had a N64, I prefer MM.
- PS1 had more power. LOL that sounds like the people who think GameCube was the weakest system last gen. Obviously you guys don't know the facts.
- Third party support determines the winner. I think all will aagree with me when I say that the Wii is the winner of this generation but has the least 3rd party support. Although it may have the most exclusives and maybe that's the diffenrence?

Another problem with saying OoT was a reason to own it was that it came out in the middle of the N64's life.. It was too late to change the tide.. Just as many of the 64's best games.. They were all released later rather than earlier..

PS1 dominated the market by having the best library. Wii did it with a friggin controller.

Smash Bros was fun but I'm a fan of traditional fighters. I had more fun with Street Fighter Alpha 3 than Smash Bros personally.

OoT was not the best game of all. That's just an opinion and obviously not everyone agrees.

PS1 definitely wasn't more powerful but on occasion it had games that looked very impressive even compared to the best looking N64 games.

No matter when Zelda came out, it would require much more to change the tide of the N64. Not everyone wants to play Nintendo developed games and that was the best reason to own a N64.
