N64's 3D was ass. It had shit draw distance at a time when draw distance was already a huge issue. It had vastly lower texture memory. Its memory also suffered from latency because it had to be processed through the CPU. Then of course there's the issue of it using cartridges instead of CDs, which contributed to audio quality suffering (PSX had 650Mb’s per disc. The N64’s carts on the other hand peaked at 64Mb). At the end of the day, the Playstation completely wiped the floor with the N64. The N64 had some specialized traits in which it was more powerful, but lacked heavily in many others. The Playstation was a more balanced and ultimately more successful system. Literally 100 million software sales to N64's 30 million. It wasn't even a competition. It was a murder. Even John Carmack had said the PS1 was a superior design. You're out of your depth.
