That's your opinion, as for me I've always disliked the PS controllers. The Sega Saturn controller (the 2nd version/ JP version) just destroys the original PS1 controller, IMO. The PS1 controller got even worse once they threw those 2 analog sticks on it.

Let's see the N64 came out late, had little to no 3rd party support, the games were expensive (as they weren't CDs)

Sega Saturn: launched at a higher price than the PS1, had a very botched launch (it's available now!), had a very complex system that was hard to make games on, 1st party support was excellent (sega games), but 3rd party support was spotty/hit or miss. (outside of Japan)

PS1: launched at a lower price than the Saturn, system was easy to program for/make games for, low cost games (CDs), excellent 3rd party support.

This the right hardware at the right time for creating theses awesome Games and then some.  the SEGA SATURN was also  Notoriously difficult to Program. the SATURN made the PS3's programing difficulty's seem mute in comparison. 

and Bernie Stolar also said that Japanese 2D RPGs and 2D Games would sell in west.

Also THe PS1 had the Best Contoller ever made in the PS Controller and this was improved on later with the

PS Dual Shock. 

Not only that, some N64 games cost in the neighborhood of $80 (MK Trilogy for $40 on PS1 vs $59 on N64)!  Plus, the N64 launched with only Pilotwings and Super Mario 64.  The hardware drought continued from there.  I begged and pleaded for a decent fighting game (sorry guys, Killer Instinct Gold was a shitty port--for $79 no less!) or a good traditional rpg (Quest 64? WTF was that!?).  As usual, Nintendo just did their own thing.  Mario, Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye, Blast Corps (Rare was hot shit, back then), Wave Race, etc that were critically acclaimed but were slow to hit the market and when they did, the media was quick to point out that the games were a little "kiddie" when compared to Sony's games.  It was a revolution.

It was like Nintendo made games that were incredible when I was 12, but now when I was 19, Nintendo was still making games that were great for when I was 12 (fun for all ages, actually).  GTA, PO'ed, Loaded, Twisted Metal, and such were looking pretty damned appealing.  What pushed me over the edge and made me buy a PS1--The King of Iron Fist Tournament.  Tekken 2 made me jizz in my pants!  Hell, I bought 2 PS1 games (Tomb Raider and Resident Evil) before I could even find a system.

Phantasy Star 1 is one of the most underrated JRPGs of all time. It was foolish of me to think there would be a thread about it. I'm an older gamer, whenever I see PS I think Phantasy Star first then Playstation.

Also had the best lineup of RPGs at the time any self respecting RPG Fan had to have a SONY PlayStation it is that simple.

I never said that. I actually enjoyed the PS1 quite a lot (even though I didn't like the controller). The games were still enjoyable and it was my 2nd favorite console of that generation. In terms of Playstation systems, I personally rank them as PS1>PS2>PS3. Though the PS2 is quite close to the PS1 for me.

I think this is it. Though I kept a Nintendo loyal, Sony's console offered me what Sega promised: what Nintendon't.

This was totally right for countries as mine (Argentina), I don't know about the US, Europe and Japan..

It validates the laziness of Sony when it comes to controller design. The PS1 and PS2 were the most popular consoles and people good used to the poor design. When the PS1 controller first appeared people bitched about how badly designed it was. The D-Pad in particularly drew huge criticism. Even the most ardent of PS fanboys admitted that the Japanese Saturn pad was superior. I could point out the fact that people continue to find ways to make their Saturn controllers work with their newer consoles. Such efforts would indicate the superiority of it's design.

becauseyou couldn't just state the merits of the ps1 without trashing Sony in some way, be the same person calling out all the hate against 360 lol.
