The playstation is the best console because millions are sold each year and the playstation came out seven years ago which makes it one of the longest ever console which hasn't "died". The playstations graphics are great just as good as the DC as it is only 32 bit and the DC is 128 bit or something and look how cheap the games are they are around £4.99 and the actual console is only about 50 quid which is why i think it is the best console ever.

I'm proud to say that my latest addition is Conker's BFD.

It's like what I say about quality and quanity. The N64 i chosse in the first place was because of the no loading, but now i would chosse it beause of games like Conkers BFD and PD, Zelda and the other 16 or so games I have.

No problem. I personally own more games for my PSX than I do my N64 also, but there's a reason for that: PSX has a massive library of games and the N64's is noticeably smaller. However, I feel that (on the whole) N64 games are of a better quality. Frankly though, I only own a couple of more PSX games than N64 ones, and I tend to play the N64 more often.

I'm proud to say that my latest addition is Conker's BFD. I'm sorry, but the PSX has nothing on the insanity of this game. Though the humor does grow rather old after a while. It's like watching the 'South Park' movie. An overflow of any one type of humor is just as boring as horror films without breaks between the shock-parts.

You can get cheap games like on (my site!) but there is more games from the PSX with out a shadow of a dought, but, in i think that Nintendo have 'quality' and PS has 'qunatiy'.

Sorry, but I own both. Percentage-wise, the N64 has had more quality titles. The PSX just had a ton of really bad ones, with a few good ones thrown in by sheer chance. This isn't to say that I feel it was a lesser system by any means. But the only reason it has any advantage over the N64 is because it was able to gather enough 3rd party developers to put out hundreds of games, even though the vast majority of them were absolute trash.

Don't shoot the messenger... only saying what those 'in the know' say - that it sold more units at launch than any other console, despite the limited numbers.

The best console lauch ever?

I'm not convinced that it was better than the DC's.
Besides that, the MegaDrive, Snes etc all had great launches.

Maybe best launch from 32 bit onwards...

Well, despite the problems, it's officially the best console launch yet.

and most Playstation owners now, if you asked if they regretted buying a playstation? would say "yes" and they would add "i wish i bought a N64"

I don't know who you've been talking to, but that's rubbish. It's more likely the other way around because at last the PSX has had a steady supply of quality titles instead of half a dozon over the past 5 years as it has been with the N64!
