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.

Sigh you have 1 Wipeout and its millions of sequals. I have wipeout 64 but i prefer, F Zero, Pod Racer, Extreme G, they are all better hands down, Sony win in the driving simulater department but i stand strong on this, Ninendo make the best fun and fast racers!

I admit Racer us my favourite out of all Speed racers but F Zero is faster which is a fact.

I love timesplitters it is my most favourite PS2 game but... I disagree that it is better than Perfect Dark, with all tis extras it is perfect, Time splitters is fun with its Map maker but no, no where near Perfect Dark.

I like fast paced games that get the adrenaline racing, and I just say that Sony has more games like this than Ninty.

A console can be the most powerful in the world, but without the games it is nothing.

However, should those games be deemed 'unclean' by a certain slice of the population, due to the fact that they are light-hearted and jolly compared to all the gritty, realistic games, then it will forever have all the sheep bleating 'kids console' at it forever more.
