I don't think the Ps1 is seen as being more hardcore than the N64 was, though perhaps at the time. I think the PS2 is perceived as being more hardcore than the GC. Just the impression i get.

You're forgetting that ps1 had FF7

You're forgetting that many of the existing fans of Final Fantasy saw Final Fantasy 7 as a "bastardization" of the series to appeal to a wider audience.
