I love the N64 and all(I own one)

But most of those "innovations" came from the ps1..

 

 WTF!?  Sorry, leo-j.  The PS-1 had many of those features, and often times, took a Nintendo idea and made it better (Dual Analog, instead of single, two shoulder buttons instead of one, internal vibration, instead of battery powered add on) but Nintendo did them first.  That's how Sony got the reputation of not being creative.  It's okay though because pretty much all technology today is an improved version of what someone else discovered.

 

 ps1 had 3d graphics, and there was a system before either the ps1 or N64 that had analog control

No console had analogue control before the N64, and further, the Sony Playstation Risc processor was NOT true 3d. Look at almost every game that came out on that system, it's a planar 3d world, inhabited by 2d sprites. Don't even try to compare the "3d" of Crash Bandicoot to Mario 64, which was the first true 3d system on the market.

 

And good lord, outside of maybe a few square games on the PS1, most of those games look horrendous today. Whereas N64 games still look quite good.

 

The PS1 wouldn't have even existed if there wasn't a Nintendo Play Station.
