N64 all the way.

As a side note... overpowered and not efficient? WTF does that mean?

How were the N64 and Xbox "overpowered"? They both came out over a year after the first consoles of their respective generations launched, so I should hope they were both more powerful than their competitors.

And the only thing non-efficient about either console was the N64's cartridge format which put developers in a bind for larger games that were heavy on CGI cutscenes and redbook audio.

N64 easily, I loved the N64 controller, if it wasn't for the Control Stick being too fragile it would be the best controller ever! On the other hand I hated the first Xbox controller, I don't know why but I got tired of using it after a while.

I own both and still have them, but my n64 have way more gametime then the xbox, so n64 for me ...
zelda, mario64, and the whole rare software games were a dream.
Maybe even my most favorite console of all time.

N64

no interest in the Xbox so never bought it

N64, just look at my nickname!

xbox, but its more due to how much i hate mario 64 it almost ruined mario for me.... forever my love will be with the NES/SNES and super mario brothers 3. other games on the 64 rocked, forsaken, golden eye, duke nukem enjoyed them all. but mario 64 how i hate you... i have expressed this on the site before but i hate no mario game more than that one. i think ill play some mario 3 when i get home in the morning to wash my mind of the bad memories again


the xbox gave me halo and halo 2 .... i played with friends according to halo waypoint 1200 some odd matches of halo 2 with friends (none of them had accounts so always in that non ranked play thing) it was the thing to do to relax, 4 of us get to gather and play on my crappy tv for a few hours. lots of other gams that were fun to fable 1, ghost recon, mech assult, hitman series, mercenaries, splintercell with the co-op fun

so xbox

Please, Halo is nothing more than a prettier looking tribes without the jetpacks.

On topic, I personally think this is like comparing apples and oranges.

Purely on games then N64

On overall features XBOX.

Both provided different types of satisfaction.

for those talking about Halo, you can thank Goldeneye for paving the way for it.

Exactly.  Halo is Goldeneye with regenerating health and vehicles.

N64, hands down.
