I didn't know that N64 was more powerful than PS1, how so?

 

It was far, far more powerful.  It had more memory and a much faster processor.  It could render a lot more shaded, textured polygons.  I mean, really, look at the PS1 any game vs Mario 64 and you'll see a huge, huge difference.

Microsoft changed the formula when they joined in.  The Xbox was the most powerful and it came in second place.  This time, the Xbox 360 is arguably the most powerful and it's also coming in second place.  So the most powerful, we can assume, comes in second place.  Assuming 2 consoles = historical trend.

The N64 had better hardware specs in general. However the games rarely went for realism and people consider cartoonish graphics to be less impressive. Mario 64 had clean visuals and great use of lighting. However, Metal Gear Solid looks better because its more realistic and had detailed environments.
