Compared to the Playstation, which was more well-rounded in its design, the N64 actually had a lot of cut corners. The board was simplistic as fuck and replied on the CPU to handle most things. The entire architecture was a clusterfuck that 3rd party developers complained about and is the reason we don't have decent N64 emulation to this day.

But, at least the N64 was cheaper. Every kid could afford it.

This is a good tl;dr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64_programming_characteristics
