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.

Did you purposely leave The Legend of Zelda 1 & 2, Metroid, Castlevania 1-3, Tetris, Excitebike, Kung Fu, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Faxanadu, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl & Super, Kid Icarus, Ghosts & Goblins, Batman, Duck Tales, Commando, Adventure Island 1-3, Iron Tank, Jackal, 1942 - 1943, Baseball Stars 1 & 2, Nobunaga's Ambition 1 & 2, Bionic Commando, Blaster Master, etc off of your NES list to make it seem like the NES had far fewer good games than the Playstation?

The legend of Zelda on the nes are horrible.... their "unplayable" levels of bad, by todays standards imo.
The first good zelda game was on the SNES, a Link to the Past.
I've never been a fan of metroid or castlevania, and again the NES versions arnt exactly great either.
Tetris is tetris..... I 'll give you excitebike, that shoulda been on the list. Same with Ghosts & Goblins, and Duck Tales.
The first few final fantasy games, as much as I hate to say it, again arnt really great either. Its just too dated, to play the nes versions.

Yes there were games left out, but I'm talking about overall picture here.
My point was there arnt a ton of NES games that aged well, or are must owns today.
The same isnt true for the PS1, theres sooo many games on it, still worth playing.
