I do remember people trashing the N64s graphics. There was Wave Race, Mario 64, and even OOT, but there's no doubt where the game industry decided it wanted to go (at least until technology improved).

Also, it's hard to argue that N64 games are the worst aged games of all time.

I don't know who was trashing the N64's graphics when it's graphics were much better than the competition at the time. You can guess which picture is from the PS1 and which is from the N64. Also, I wouldn't say the N64 has poorly aged games. Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are still incredibly fun to play. In fact, the majority of it's first and second party library is. With the biggest exceptions being Goldeneye and Perfect Dark due to their incredibly awkward control schemes.

True, but people were more talking about game with pre rendered backgrounds and cut scenes. So, even I can agree with you games that were made with full 3D poly to full 3D poly, yeah the N64 would win, But if we look at other aspects of gaming, like pre rendered backgrounds, music, cutscenes, and just how big developers could make games it really is no comparison. CD's were the future and gaming in general went that direction. Now I think tech has caught up enough where it leans the other way crazy enough to say, but in all honesty, streaming would be more efficient and produce better results than any physical medium.

And let's be honest, spite animation has aged better than either of those.
