Ok, I thought we could all amalgamate into a nice healthy rant on the problems with Sony. Come on, gather round, don't be shy, it'll be fun. Because I need to get so much sh...stuff...off my chest. Deep breath, here goes...
1) They aren't a proper games company and don't know much more about games than I do about nuclear fission. They have no pedigree, and their games are all third-party.
2) The playstation was a post-pub-****-up accompaniment to a takeaway and vomit. Pub. Takeaway. Vomit. Playstation. So really, we shouldn't be comparing it to Nintendo's finest, but rather, Open University, the merits of Kylie Minogue over Britney Spears, Why Dave Is A Good Bloke, a tube of Pringles, and England's left-sided midfield problem.
3) The games were, with a few notable exceptions, utter drivel. Clearly, Sony had not figured on the soberly-challenged wasters noticing this fact. And what few good games there were, were glacially far apart, and for every half-decent game there was, there would be maybe 100 you wouldn't buy in a million years. Unless you had been impressed with them at Dave's House. I really hope no-one here is called Dave.
4) Where the hell did ps owners get off saying that it was superior to the n64? Are they sensory-deficient? Was the haemoglobin pausing before reaching the brain? I mean, seriously, I have produced better games than Parappa the Rapper out of my back passage. Or how about Bishi Bashi? No, I'm being serious, it's there. Or what about Crash Bandicoot? Utter garbage. Play a real game.
5) If I hear one more time about the ability to play cds or dvds, I will not be held accountable for my actions. Look, has it ever occured to you that cd players play cds too? Did people really need that function when cd was out for a decade beforehand? Plus, it played them sh**. And you couldn't watch telly on mute at the same time, or play a game. Didn't every man, woman and beast already have several cd players? Same with the dvd crap. Two years earlier, maybe it would have been a good idea. But it plays them damned awful too, with that green screen nonsense.
6) I really hated the way that the playstation came to be seen as the generic video games console. I am sure I am not the only one who was interrupted when playing the n64, asked if I was on the playstation. "Oh, he's on the playstation again" syndrome.
7) the awful controller. Especially when compared to the n64's revolutionary analogue stick. All they did was copy the SNES's pad. But by then, the d-pad was obselete. Too clumsy. But for games like crash bandicoot, who gives a? It didn't sit well.
8) OK, I know Nintendo gamers are also guilty of buying into FIFA games, but it was far more common in playstation ranks. No-one seemed to actually get how bad they were, but man they sold well.
9) Mary Kate and Ashley: Crush Course. Goofy's Fun House. Rugrats in Paris. Pajama Sam. Bishi Bashi. Lada Rally. Ok, so the last one's made up. The rest aren't.
10) The t***ers that bought it.

If you lot here think that N64 was better than playstation the you must have some serious problems. I have got an N64 and although it had A FEW great games on it and the graphics were better than the PS, that was about it.
The PS is still being developed for, the N64 was killed of ages ago, you look at the total amount of games that were made for each console and you will see that PS had loads more games.
Nintendo made a big mistake in making carteridges, they were expensive and difficult to manufacture so that you never got any demos of games, that just made developers leave the 64 alone.
I cant be bothered now to carry on about this because there are many reasons why the PS was better than the N64 but basically, if the N64 was better, why have people stopped developing for it before the PS and the PS has been out longer. You would have thought that a great console would have a long development life, wouldn't you?

Thats what I thought originally. But Sonicrav (a respected regulaar) keeps saying DVD players are expensive in Japan...

i have a playstation. help me. i only got one cos' i dint know about the N64 back then, and even then i only got it so's i could play driver, i never bought a crash game, i never bought a tomb raider game, and i Never will get a metal gear solid game. i have tekken three. it is too complex pulling of moves for me. next to ssb, it reeks. next to melee, it is like compairing dead mouse to roast chicken. i bought toy story two. period. one thing i didn't mind wasting 30 quid on is spyro 2 + 3. they are sorta like zelda/ mario, you find new world by exploring. it's a lot easyer to figure out what to do, and most of the worlds are just a big circular track.
the bottom line, sony will never compaire gameplay wise or power wise. i mean, look at banjo twooie. you understand the caricters personalty, the worlds are huge, and the bosses are fun. then compaire with crash three. charicters, they hardly even talk,the worlds are all just tracks, and the bosses arent that fun two beat. i have played both games, and crash comes no-were near banjo. variety in crash three, some levels involve you on the back of a tiger, on a bike,on a sub, on a dinosaur. banjo twooie, on all levels you can shoot eggs at enimys, and at least six kinds of eggs, you havetwo complete diferent tasks, and on some levels you are transformed into diferent objects to complete tasks, play as tree different charicters( banjo, kazooi and banjo+kazzoi).
