"Why do people think the playstation is better than the N64?"

Most people at my school think that the Playstation is better than the N64 but the N64 has better graphics than the Playstation graphics and better games but nobody agrees with me it is so annoying it is clear that the N64 is better. WHHHYYYYY doesn't anyone agree with ME!!!!!!!

I'm going with John J. Why does everyone think the playstation is better than the N64? The graphics are loads better and the games are definitely better as most of them go on for a long time on the N64. Playstation is only 32 bit and that's pathetic as it's the same graphics as the gameboy Advance. That shows that Nintendo can make a better console than Sony. So what if Sony have got a playstation 2? I've asked loads of people weather they like sony or Nintendo and almost all of them say Nintendo. Playstation 2's are far too expensive. I heard a RUMOUR, so it might not be true, but the rumour is that Sony only need about £100 to make a Playstation 2. I can't wait for the Gamecube!

Yeh but that's still only 3 games, all exactly the same. There is not much difference or any unique features in any of those games.

If they're not impressed with Zelda then they either they don't like Adventure games (in which case Goldeneye and Perfect Dark and Turok etc... can fill their needs), or they're just stupid.

A most excellent way to put it old chap!

Yes in way Nintendo is a little like a dictator, it limits your choices in a way to make you do something that they want you to do. However i think that the N64 had far superior games than the PSX, if you go into a games store, you find that there are metres of shelf space just for PSX, but over 4/5 of this quantity is made up of poorly knocked out games. Where as the N64 has about 1/2 a metre of shelf space and has 4/5 of quality games. The fact that Sony saturated the market with games seems to have run in their favour, but the N64 is clearly the more superior console. Sony lured the consumer by dangling more meat(games) in front of their face than Nintendo did to its customers, but the meat which Nintendo dangled was more tender and delicious than that of its rival, however the consumer flocked to go for quantity over quality, and that is the difference between Sony and Nintendo.

Good point but if a person's not impressed with a huge title like Zelda, they don't get much else to choose from. I feel that you almost get told what to buy by Nintendo.

That's just not true.

The Playstation did have MORE quality games, but none of them reached the quality of Zelda, Goldeneye or Perfect Dark...


And that was without the multiplayer.

N64 went for quality while the Playstation went for quantity.

Both have their own advantages.

i think the N64 s power and ability would of blown the playstation away if the cartridges were cheaper.i have a N64 and i want mystical ninja goemon.The N64 rules

The only way in which the playstation is better than the N64 is the games. Straight down the middle. And for me this is definitely more important than graphics.

In some ways, the PSX is better. In others, the N64 is better. (I love sitting on the fence!)
