The N64 was 64 bit capable; but it was never utilized, the data operations were 32 bit for all games. The console was bottlenecked in several areas, and was an absolute nightmare to develop for. |
When people say 128bit they don't mean the chips they mean performance wise, PS2 had a 64bit chip with a double core, hence why the EE is called the 128bit emotion engine while the GC had a similar style set up with a faster processor, the DC chip itself was a 64bit double core.
