Now the PS2 has been out a year it's obvious.

The N64 was a better console in it's first year.

Yes the PS2 has sold more consoles, but the N64 was better.

You want proof?

The PS2 only has 3 games out now that I would like, Pro Evo Soccer, Silent Hill 2 and GTA 3. By the time that the N64 had been out a year I had half a dozen games that I thought were truelly outstanding, and considered to be AAA. Super Mario 64, ISS64, Goldeneye, Mario Kart Lylat Wars and Turok.

Nice way to wind someone up, oh yeah Lylat Wars rules (or something) so knyaaa yee!

That was in Lylat language which only dedicated Nintendo owners understand.

It basically translates into "Where's that frickin frog gone now?"

Did you perhaps miss the bit were I said A) Just because its an opinion doesn't make it so, and B) There being 5 good games, was, yes indeedy, MY opinion.

Theres no point in you trying to tell me what my opinion id, you don't know me.

Good N64 games amounted to the two Zeldas, Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, Mario 64.

Mario Golf? Tennis?, 1080? (yawn), I'll grant you WWF if you're a fan - but I'm not a fan and thus that game was poo.

***** TAKE NOTICE OF THIS NEXT BIT *******

In MY OPINION!
Get that? My thoughts, my views. Not yours, mine.


***** THANKS FOR YOUR NOTICE TAKING *******

Is it just me or did none of you actually read the topic? Notice that Meka said he thought this after a year of the N64s release. Your all naming names that came out in like 2000 and 1999.

Hmm, hang on a sec. I am not meant to be here, adios.

The N64 got one of it's biggest games at launch (SM64) so what does that tell you about later releases ;-)

Yes I know PS2 has 176 games out bla, bla, bla ......

But how many are either exclusive to PS2 or just a matter of opinion (eg GTAIII, Red Faction the Final Fantasies etc)

Your Fruity opinion proves nothing monkey boy!
I could just as easily say PS2 better than N64?:

Want proof? My N64 has filled its dust capacity and there are only 5 good games on it, whereas I have a good number of quality titles for my dust free PS2.

Thats my opinion.

Easier still I could get Goatboy in here to say

People seem to think that the Plastation 2 is better because of it's superior graphics, but that doesn't make a console by itself, alot of the PS2 games have been hyped up so much making people think they will better than they are and then us gamers get disapointed, it may just be we are so disapointed that we believe the games are bad. Honestly i would rather get a PS2 than an N64, but thAt doesn't mean it's better, the N64 is aged, so the PS2 is more popular and 'supposedly' better because of it's new blood.

I think Meka's point is that console wars arguments can't be truly won.

I think that's why they're more intersting in some respects.

It means to get the "better of" or keep up with your opponent, it encourages you to dig deeper and learn more about the games industry and you find out all sorts of things that you wouldn't otherwise know.

I'm growing interest in how hardware works so I argue with Bonus...
