PS1 definitely had the better graphics

No way. Janky textures that moved around more than the character onscreen is not better.

A lot of PS1 games had really neat pre-rendered sets, but it didn’t really come close to N64 in terms of clarity.

I grew up with both of them. My best friend had the PS1 and I had the N64.

The PS1 had more great games though.

Yes way. My ps1 looked much better than my buddies n64

I’m telling you, watch a comparison video on YouTube.

Maybe the only n64 game you ever seen was Superman 64 haha.

Pretty sure that the N64 with proper floating point calc had a more advanced GPU but with the TV at the times the PS1 took advantage of the small resolution. Added higher storage for textures it did look better than the N64. If you compare them now, the N64 doesn't have that "jittery jumpy" feel of PS1 3D graphics, especially visible on emulators
