Clearly anyone saying PS3 wan't actually around in the N64 days! The N64 was revolutionary, the PS3 is evolutionary. There are several N64 games which not only rewrote the rules on gaming and defined whole new genres, but are still just as playable today as they were back then.

The PS3 may have some good games, but none of them have done for gaming what the likes of Mario 64, Zelda OOT and Goldeneye have.

That is just an insult to everybody who preferred the Games on SONY PlayStation back then I myself was on of them I loved the NES and the SNES but the N64 for me was a let down. no JRPGs to speak of no MGS no Policenauts  and so on. 

The Playstation may have done well, but it's big contribution to gaming was the introduction of optical media which allowed for far bigger file sizes and brought in FMV and large amounts of voice acting to console games. PS1 had some great games, but I don't think it's system exclusives did as much for gaming as the N64 did, or hold up today as well the N64 games do. The fact that people are excited to have Zelda:OOT re-released on the 3DS speaks volumes.

What's more this thread has nothing to do with PS1, it's about N64 vs PS3, of which the N64 line up clearly did more for gaming than the PS3 line up.
