Dammit, my secret's out.

Wait a minute! PS1 had better graphics? I guess I never really looked into it too much, but I've always been under the impression otherwise. My N64 games look much better than my PS1 games, with the exception of pre-rendered FMVs.

N64 was the more graphically advanced of the two, supporting newer techniques like perspective correct texturing, anti-aliasing, and trilinear filtering.

It's restrictive texture cache and the storage limitations of cartridges though meant textures were often of lower quality.

Overall the two had very different "looks"; PS1 tended to be sharper but jaggier and more jittery, while N64 was smoother and more stable, but blurrier.

Sharper but jaggier? Wat?

Also, what do you mean PS1 was jittery and N64 more stable? Most N64 games had horrendous framerate. Same with the N64 being blurrier, when most games ran at a higher resolution than the PS1. Are you sure you didn't just get your descriptions the wrong way round?
