For about a year, the n64 was a beast. I think, according to EGM, they even won on sales. Unfortunately for them, expensive cartridges (for consumers and developers), size limitations, and being difficult to optimize killed any power advantages they had. Not to mention Sony's ability to add controller features to ps1 very quickly.

Not to mention the blur.

Pick your poison during those days. It was a choice between blurry solid looking polygons and no cinematics/limited music vs pixelated glitchy polygons with spectacular sound and mind blowing cutscenes.

This is a generalization. Back then, when you saw 1996's Wave Race side by side with Jet Moto you could tell N64 had some power under the hood. It's library was so limited, though.
