N64 carts had a max of 64 MB storage. PS1 discs had 700 MB storage.

why did the music industry have to die, we'll never get cool videos like this again to say nothing of the state of rock and roll

fuck you napster

But it didn't. The N64 has smeared as fuck textures but the PS1 had polygons you could castrate yourself on. The idea of having something like Banjo Tooie on the PS1 is laughable.

you sure you are not confusing good graphics with pre rendered FMV that takes 3/4 of each of the 4 discs the game comes in?

Troll consolewars bait shit in faggot's post aside, let's discuss something more interesting.

How the fuck did PS1 fly under the radar as 32 bit console, I mean the faggotry was still going on, I remember my childhood friend still swearing Sega's next console was going to be 128-bit console, despite his engineer father constantly trying to explain him, very patiently, that there was not a snowball's chance in hell of happening.

So then, how did Sony manage to pass that assawfull bit-wars nonsense? That is what I find the most impressive.

MIPS is a 32-bit architecture, when you're in marketing you just need one component that technically fits your claim to be able to trot it everywhere

alrighty then

>>320877837

i want to think that people didn't thought a machine based on cds and mostly capable of 3D (but much more kick ass for 2d games) and FMV cutscenes was a 32 bit or even bit based. there is also the fact that they sold the ps1 as a media player too (i very shit looking one, from what i can recall the only time i played a music cd in a ps1) and continue the trend with the ps2 as a dvd player.

Although the PS1 DID have inferior hardware, the N64's graphics were better than the PS1 graphics were.
