PS1 list with big name titles goes on and on.
Its debut was without a doubt bigger than the NES's.

NES was just the first. So in a historical sense, and what it ment for the industry its the biggest.
In terms of better games? the PS1.
(670-700 NES games vs 3100+ on the PS1, the NES had like 1-2 handfull of must own games, PS1 had much more)

"I think the best is.."

I think this question refers to the games? right.
Theres no question about the historical nature of the NES and its impact.
So the question is which had the better games?

Final Fantasy and all the wonderfull RPGs the PS1 had, def. makes it the winner.

NES started some series no one has ever heard of like Zelda. Mario. Metroid. Dragon Quest. Final Fantasy. Castlevania. Resident Evil doesn't exist without Sweet Home btw. Your list is insanely skewed. NES is where arcade ports could actually be ok. Ghosts n Goblins. TMNT and TMNT:TF. Rares best games on NES are now dead series like Wizards and Warriors and Captain Skyhawk. NES had Marble Madness. Crystalis. Blaster Master (PS1 sequel sucked) Startropics. Mother 1. Tetris. Batman NES still one of the best Batman games. River City Ransom. Excitebike. Balloon Fight. Metal Storm. Shadowgate. Shatterhand. Bomberman. Gradius. Lifeforce. Bionic Commando.Ducktales.  Smash TV and so so much more.

PS1 games mostly look like shit. NES games look and sound are still emulated. Very few will emulate PS1 visuals in indie games.
