@silv3rst0rm: both the N64 and GC had more graphical power than their winning PS counterparts, especially the former. Never say never :D
EDIT: in fact, the reason why they ditched the Sony CD in the last minute was because they wanted to guarantee smooth/buttery gameplay to their users. Precisely so. Cartridges were much faster than CDs in terms of memory loading. I look like a nerdy dickhead now i know -_- just wanted to pitch in haha :)
