N64 vs PSOne, which was the console of YOUR choice?

I got the Playstation. I have a lot of happy gaming memories with that thing.

64 because it was better to play with friends, the ps1 had its great RPG games but thats all it hadsurrealnumber5

Well even though I didn't play the N64 alot I say PS1. Lots of classics were created on that (not saying there weren't alot on the N64 either I just like Ps1 better :P ).

I only had a N64 but my cousin and a friend had PSOnes so I always played it. I liked the N64 the best even though it is undeniable the PSOne has a far bigger amount of great games, however some of them didn't appeal to me. The combination of Nintendo and Rare made the N64 a fantastic system, too bad that besides that there really isn't a lot to be enjoyed.

The N64 remains my favorite console to this day :)

It was the last great Nintendo console imo...

Had both but N64.

I loved my PS1, but I just had more fun on my older brothers N64.

I can't believe people that can say that the N64 was the better console, when they can only list like 10 games at max. Ps1 was better by sheer quality, and quantity.

I played an n64 at a co-workers house a few months ago , he brought out Golden Eye and we did a 3 way death match...man that game looks awful!!! And it controlled worth crap. I don't know how you guys liked that so much. I played Medal of Honor on ps1 on psn and that game looks much better and plays much better as a shooter.....but it doesn't have multiplayer, but I don't really care.... multiplayer was never my focus and it has always been on an entertaining interactive story and fun...not fraging...well not until I got a new pc and fell in love with Quake 3 and unreal tornament...now those were shooters! Real 3d hardware accelerated. and fun as hell.

PSOne hands down! 8)

MGS, Soul Reaver, FF7, FF8, and many more say hi!

wapahala

Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Lylat Wars, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Majora's Mask, Donkey Kong 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 64, Jet Force Gemini, Super Smash Bros. and many more beg to differ ;)

Well, being the avid RPG fan that I am, I'll say PS1.

i had both, but N64 was just my favorit console of all time, so much fun with my friends on multiplayer

best single player games too

best graphics

best controles (ish) some games

just amazing

----

i think the reson i likes it more then thee ps1 was probably becouse of the multiplayer, 4 controles > 2 controles

It definitely has to be the PS1, it came out of nowhere and produces SO many great games and franchises. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, MGS1, Gran Turismo, Tekken are just a few examples.

I have a PSOne. I prefer it to N64.

Playstation had games that I liked very much when I was younger: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Gran Turismo, Tekken etc etc

THE PS1.

It just destroyed anything else i played in the 1990's.

The n64 hand a handful of first party shiny, shiny, gems...but the phenomenon that was playstation just outweighed it..

that thing was just too good.

For me, it is the Nintendo 64. I still play the system to this day (just played it yesterday) and I still love it. I've only had a little bit of experience playing a PlayStation, but I just enjoy the Nintendo franchises far too much. I'm sure the PSOne is an excellent console in its own right, but I just prefer the N64.

PSOne

The Virtual Boy was the ultimate system... ever lol

PSOne of course because N64 had too many childish games

N64 had better games, but the Dreamcast beat them both.

nintendoboy16

It was released 9-9-1999; a year before the ps2 came out. Two years before the gamecube (I think) and Xbox came out.

The Sega Saturn launched around the same time are the ps1 and n64.

N64 for me. I don't like the FF titles and only a few PS1 titles kept me interested unlike the N64.

Wow, pretty awesome that the N64 is winning! Then again, it simply does have the best games: Super Mario 64, Zelda: OoT, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie, Paper Mario, Zelda: Majora's Mask, etc., etc.princeofshapeir

The PS1 actually had a stronger library with more AAA and AA games (much more), but the N64 had a very good library for a 2nd place console (It did sell more than Saturn world wide didn't it?)

These are the scores:

[QUOTE="jonnyt61"]

This is just for the list wars... All from Metacritic/Gamerankings. All titles A+

N64 Here - 67Meta / 150GR

PS1 Here - 143Meta / 439GR

Now, that's A+, which is considered on this board, the cut off for games worth bothering with.

Total games wise, the PS1 absolutely crushes N64.

mitu123

And to this quote: It's because there are a lot of people saying that the N64 had a stronger library than the PS1, which isn't about personal preferences. Clearly the PS1 had a stronger library, although it might not appeal to some as much as those much loved N64 games. N64 was the first console I ever owned and I loved the games, they were great. But the PS1 does have a stronger library hich I find myself buying into to this day.

Here are a list of games on the PS1 that are really worth owning a sony console to play them for even today:

Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Dino Crisis, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, Silent Hill, Xenogears, Persona 2 Innocent Sin (Japan only, but I can't leave it out), Parasite Eve, Parasite Eve 2.

N64 had Rare, PS1 had Square. XD

They're wonderful games, but I consider games like Xenogears to be superior to them simply because it offers the same quality gameplay, but strong storytelling as well that really hasn't been rivaled. Silent Hilll as well for the same reason.

i owned the n64 and ps. both had a great library of games, but i did prefer the n64..

I only had the PS1, great console which offered some amazing titles... N64 was a great console too, just didnt have many games i wanted so i decided not to get one...
