Nintendo 64, or the original PlayStation?

The N64 was one of my childhood gaming consoles, so by default I'll go with that one over the PSX.

The N64 had more popularity but the Sony had the more challenging games.

The N64 had less intense graphics. Both had done glitches but the Sony took longer to load the game.

The Nintendo had more 4 player enabled games but the Sony had more combo moves for the sprites.

I'm going to pick Sony. Mainly because it held my interest better.

@Keraunos The market methodology with Nintendo was very different. The original console that came with Mario brothers spawned game concept variants beside the foundation games themselves. Each successive game box had its own cartridges and controls, plug in options and increased complexity of the background and computerized challenge characters. I had DVDs go bad but the plug in cartridges were/are rock solid and most always handed off to a trade in or someone else.

I'm Certain that in terms of people using second hand systems and cartridges not falling into total obscurity Nintendo is the one that was put to use more. There's no way I can cite figures for this of course because the collective public recollection isn't likely to appraise game popularity in those ways.

@SteelHands Oh, [i]that's[/i] what you meant by console longevity. Yeah, figures or no figures, I'd say you're right about that, from what I've seen.

@Keraunos Diddykong racing and Mario Kart are also excellent 4 player competitions that don't require an internet connection and are good family oriented because they're geared toward casual or young game players. I think Nintendo was a gift to family type people.

Cartridge vs disk, I remember it well.

PlayStation had way more content and I hated the controllers for the N64. It did have a few GREAT games but still nothing in comparison to the PlayStation. Lastly, cartridges just couldn't hold enough content to really be comparable hence the need for the ROM pack for some games. And why FF7 went to PS.
@SubstantialKick [c=#359E00]i was read that long ago in a magazine[/c] 😄

@SubstantialKick Yeah but Conker was seen as kind of a cheesy game. Like it's in bad taste or not very clever. :p
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
@Elegy Conker is nuts. I watched a playthrough of it on YouTube and I was like, "The heck is this???" 😂
[c=#359E00]me too, i own PlayStation so i'll choose it by default[/c] 😂
[c=#359E00]But seriously.. PlayStation have more good RPG's[/c]
[c=#359E00]i was RPG gamer, so i give high rate to console with lot of good RPG[/c] 😁
Keraunos · 36-40, M
@YukikoAmagi I was, too. [i]Xenogears[/i] and [i]Final Fantasy IX[/i] remain my top two games of all time to this day.
@Keraunos [c=#359E00]Stand tall and shake the heaven[/c] 😎✌️

64 was nothing compared to Playstation. PS always released some awesome games and they still do..

PSX all the way......I'm a Sony loyalist when it comes to gaming, lol.

Playstation. Always was the best of consoles. It still is.

I'll go for the PlayStation. The PlayStation has a lot of good games.
The PSX was so much better.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
What's wrong with Atari
Keraunos · 36-40, M
PSX was better by far.
Carver · 31-35, F
PSX, definitely.
DDonde · 31-35, M
I can't really say because I didn't play that much PSX. Mostly just Twisted Metal a handful of times at a friend's house.
N64 had amazing games as long as you kept to 1st-party titles. Most of the 3rd-party titles besides Rare were pretty bad.
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
@DDonde I always thought the N64 had some awesome racing games, like the San Francisco Rush series and the Cruis'n series.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@SubstantialKick I'll admit I didn't really play those, although I remember seeing them at the arcade. The only racing games I played was Mario Kart and F-Zero X.
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
Looks like many have chosen the PSX. I'm not too surprised.

That retarded controller on the N64 was enough to negate any possible strengths it might have had.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@MethDozer It was fixed by the super.
