That's all kinds of wrong. If the PS1 never existed, the Saturn would have kicked the N64's ass because just like the PS1, it would have brought all those third partys over thanks to the machine using a CD format. That, and Sega was way better at third party support and had a great relationship with alot of western developers.

In all reality, even with the Saturn, devs still were more interested in 3D development for N64. Saturn was a mess of a console with poor controls and it was EXTREMELY hard to develop for. If PS1 didn't exist, devs would have simply jumped on 64. Just like Square Enix. They knew Saturn was disc based but it wasn't a good platform to develop for.

I disagree wholeheartedly. The CD is what won the day for PS1. That was the single biggest factor in Sony winning. Developers would not have wanted to work with Nintendo and their extremerly limited, overly expensive format.
And remember, the N64 was there. They could have easily just made games for it instead of the PS1 but they didn't because of the two reasons I mentioned above.
So had the PS1 not existed, the Saturn would have taken it's place because it featured the one thing that gave Sony their victory...CD. They would have gotten around the difficult programing just like they did for PS2.
