But wat I am saying is there are better games out their than MGS and GT. Fact, MGS isn't as good as Resi Evil 4. Fact. GT4 may have the graphics but its not the best racing game out there.
OMG okay it seemed you read what I said but then... WTF??? No dude, these ARE - NOT - FACTS. The only fact was the first line and that I agree to, of COURSE... TEN F"ING YEARS LATER, there are better games than MGS and GT. The rest of that is just you're oppinion. And as so many have already done, I'm sure there'd be people who would love to disagree with you... again.

Yes the PS1 had a more extended library of games but do u actually see any game for the ps1 selling for more than a tenner? No. Everywhere I have checked sell ps1 games for bout a fiver whereas most of the N64 games are over a tenner. This must mean that most shops would rate N64 more highly than PS1. Go check ur local gamestation if u wanna see the truth.
Did you ever even stop to consider the REAL reason that many PSX games, even the best ones, do sell for a bit less than the best of the N64 crop, is not because they rate N64 games higher, but rather, is because of the relative RARITY of said games?? Now here are some REAL facts. The PSX sold tens of millions of units. Many of the best PSX games, like MGS, also sold tens of millions of copies.. more user base means more copies sold of given games on average... that only makes sense... Now the N64 never came close to the PSX in terms of numbers of systems sold, and as a result of there being many less N64 owners than PSX owners, many less copies of even the best of the N64 games were made and sold compared to the average PSX hit game. So it only makes perfect sense that many of the best N64 games are rare, relative to the best of the PSX library. And before you try to argue with YOUR 'facts' keep in mind, I spend a year and a half of my life not just CHECKING my local gamestation, but actually WORKING for my local Gamestop store as a store manager. Seeing this stuff first hand. And I can recal from memory a perfect example...
I know for a fact that we had at almost any given time, SEVERAL copies of Metal Gear Solid available, and yes it sold for a bargain price... I think $10-15. But, the whole time I was there, I saw maybe 2 or 3 copies of Conkers Bad Fur Day come thru our store.. I remember this in particular because I was keeping an eye out to buy a copy for myself... and waiting for the price to come down... yes it was a pricey game even though it was used and old... about $30-35. Not because it made Metal Gear Acid suck by comparison, but because it is just a much more rare game (heh... it's a Rare-made game... heh I made a funny
). By comparison, we also had at any given time, several copies of Mario 64... Probably the highest selling N64 game, though i dont know that for a fact. Anyways, that game also sold for about $10 or $15, right on par with MGS.
Then there's also the fact that many of the best PSX games ended up being rereleased as part of the PSX's 'Greatest Hits' lineup, at which point they always dropped to $20 for a NEW copy... and of course, the price for a used copy of those games would drop accordingly. I can't say I recally if very many, or indeed if any, new N64 games ever got rereleased or offered for such a low price new, unless it was a clearance sale.
You want another example of why your logic of N64-games-selling-for-more-means-they-are-better-games is wrong? Okay, take Dragonball GT for the PSX. For the longest time, that game had a BUYBACK price of $50 at Gamestop, and a SALE price of $75. SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS! MORE than ANY used N64 game we had for sale let me tell you. Have you ever PLAYED Dragonball GT?? It is UTTER CRAP of a game!!! But by your logic, it must be rated better than any N64 game ever sold
that game only went down in price when it had a Greatest Hits re-release.
now how's that for FACTS?
