I chose the Nintendo 64 mainly because I am a Nintendo fan and it was my first console. But I feel that the N64's top 5 games were also basically genre defining and earth shattering while the top 10 were still what would be considered major hits. It was by far the console of choice for multiplayer, it basically invented the concept of the analog stick (PSOne copied afterwards) and it introduced force-feedback.
That's not to say that the PS1 didn't have a lot going for it, but I feel that the N64 was still the more daring and innovative console at least in the early part of the generation.
