It's so obvious, even a fool could see it, the Playstation and Playstation 2 are aimed at adults and these are the consoles we should be playing. Give your N64 to your little cousin or your brother and get a Playstation.

The evidence is easy to spot, just look at the titles on offer. The Playstation boasts many adult orientated games such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Muppet racing and Seasame Street. How can the N64 compete when it only has childish games such as Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Turok and not to mention the kiddies games Quake 2 and Conkers Bad Fur Day.

Ok, to be fair, the N64 has a few adult games, like Mario (far too difficult for kids to complete), Banjo Kazooe (how do you expect kids to solve those puzzles?) and Diddy Kong racing (children have problems controlling the planes) but compared to the overwhelming odds of Playstation titles such as Super Bombad racing and Disney's Dinosaur, it doesn't really fit in to any adults life at all.

So that's why I say, give your N64 away to some kid that deserves it and be content to play all of your adult games on a truly adult console.

Please do not stray into this subject. It has been discussed before and just gives Sonoids a bad name.

All except F Zero X and Excitebike are coming out on the PS2.

Oh, and the N64 version of WipEout was s***e, and there will be no more.

Seeing as Sony OWN Psygnosis, now called Sony Studios Liverpool.
