Easy choice: N64 > PS3

I myself enjoyed the PS1 more than the N64 back in the day, but you have to remember that the PS3 is NOT the PS1. The PS3's library lacks significantly compared to the PS1 (and PS2).

The only real genre lacking on PS3 compared to the PS1 is RPGs. Sure, they were the bread and butter of the system, but the PS3 has experiences the PS1 doesn't (and this is coming from someone who STILL considers the PS1 to be the top console).

I'd say platformers are lacking too to be honest, as well as survival horror, shooters (not TPS/FPS), and fighters somewhat.  While those issues are likely due to general genre decline as well, some of the genres are going through a mini-renaissance elsewhere (shooters on 360, platformers on Wii).
