The N64 vs PS1 discussion basically revolves around
>Having a developer-friendly format that's 30x cheaper and holds 20x the memory (ie, CD's) is a bad deal because of 2 seconds of loading
If you even vaguely look at the industry in the 1990's, you can see that literally every developer preferred CD's, for their insane practical advantages. N64 was hugely held back by small game sizes, whereas the PS1 could hold monstrous texture work, and still be cheaper. Nintendo didn't use CD's purely out of spite, and not because it was god's will that cartridges are better. Sony invented CD's, that's the real reason.

Nintendo is very lucky that the N64 had good games, let's just say that.

>Having a developer-friendly format that's 30x cheaper and holds 20x the memory is a bad deal because of 2 seconds of loading

Hatred of CD's is completely baffling.

Nintendo fanatics actually say shit like this and don't see what's wrong with it.
