That's just retarded. The PS1 had so many bloody great games. Parappa the Rapper, Fear Effect 1 & 2, Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3, MGS, Tomb Raider, Syphon Filter, Ape Escape, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tekken 3 (actually I hate Tekkens, but . . .), Ridge Racer Type 4, Gran Turismo, Wipeout XL, Twisted Metal, NFL Gameday, Intelligent Cube, Tenchu, Super Puzzle Fighter, Lunar, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (probably the best Castlevania ever made), Medal of Honor, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Grandia, Madden 2000, Silent Hill, Driver, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Vagrant Story, Tony Hawk Pro Skater . . .
You seriously just sound foolish when you suggest that there was a dirth of quality on the Playstation. Nintendo is my favorite videogame company in the history of videogame companies. But that doesn't make me believe in nonsense. The PS1 had WAY WAY WAY more excellent games than the N64, just as the PS2 has WAY WAY WAY more excellent games than the Cube.
Nintendo publishes, what . . . 3, maybe 4 first-party games per year for their console. They're always good, but not always great. Luigi's Mansion, many of the Mario Parties, etc. are just good. The Gamecube got one Zelda, one Mario, two Metroids, one Smash Bros., one Mario Kart and one Animal Crossing. That's pretty much it for their great games on that system. Aside from there is a teensy weensy, itty bitty list of great games exclusive or semi-exclusive to that system. The only ones that come to mind are Resident Evil 5, Eternal Darkness, Ikaruga (if you don't count the Dreamcast version) and Killer 7. That's actually all that comes to mind. And there's plenty of pure crap made for the cube.
You don't buy Nintendo consoles because of a better quality to crap ratio. You buy them because of a better Nintendo to non-Nintendo ratio.
Except for the Wii. Things are looking up for Nintendo these days :)

You really need to stop starting your posts with statements like that. Or with things like "you're completely nuts" or "you're insane". I'm sure I'm not the only one who stops reading after that lead in. How many attorneys do you know that open their statements that way?
May as well read a bit further, though... the majority of the titles you list are meaningless to me. Don't play war games, don't play sports games, don't play racing games, don't play fighters. Tony Hawk has no appeal to me. Subtract those games and your list is awfully short.
Have played Symphony of the Night and it isn't nearly as good as Dracula X for the PC Engine. Played through Lunar many times on the Sega CD so wasn't going to do it again on the PS1. Tried Final Fantasy games, am not into 45 minutes of gameplay and 6 hours of watching bad animation.

i have to agree, i did miss one of my favs... heh Castlevania SOTN, but it was stolen from me many times. and i almost believe Dawn of Sorrow on the DS is better. well if not pretty close. but other than that...
some of those games you mentioned like puzzle fighter etc did not originate or were released on other consoles so, RE didnt really interest me till Nemisis. castlevania SOTN was also on the Saturn i think? and everyone says that FF7 is great etc (why because it was the first FF to venture into 3D with cloud and his large replaceable* swords? because of Sepiroth and his large sword? or because it was a great game?, (i actualy think FFX is better* Auron and his long sword*) lol
but seriously saying that PS1 had some better games than the N64?, id like you to combat me with a list of some of the greatest PS1 games, and id fight back with an even greater list of N64 games. but truth is most time these days are spent on advertising the blood gushing graphics and a Realism factor then the gameplay and story. if theres one thing i can say about almost every PS1/2 games is that replay value on each is very slim to none. where i can give you a decent list of many on the N64/cube/gba/DS/SNES/ and even NES that would take you a significantly much longer time to finish than any modern PS2 game. (especially movie games)

(EDIT:) also, i buy nintendo games because of the Solid amount of gameplay they put into every game. for example, the standard for any metal gear is that they never use Pre-rendered footage in any game, its all currently there, and thats what nintendo *mostly does as well* its truly balanced. and there are alot more games that came out for the Gamecube and other consoles and ended up being better in almost everyway like DBZ budokai. MGS: Twin snakes, Star wars bh, Soul calibur, Naruto 1-4, Resident Evil 4,Sonic Adventure 1-2 as well exclusive games like the star wars rogue squadron series, Monkeyball? (i think is shared now?)
nintendo just had a bad end of third party support because it wasnt getting into as many homes as GTA advertising Violence to kids.
im also starting to see a familar pattern with Xbox games too, less pre-rendered waste of space.

even shadow of collosus wasnt that good. very simple, very easy, very quick to beat maybe i think my timed score was 8hrs.
as for god of war, i never played it but my little brother wants to play it. -.-
