Remember that one?
I remember reading magazines at the time without being able to go a few pages without seeing this being mentioned.
Especially in my country where videogames only got popular enough with the Playstation, the N64 was always the kid's console according to them. I remember reading reviews about Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, constantly reminding everyone these are kiddie games. But when they reviewed Crash, Spyro or Croc, there was no such mention. These games were "cool" because they were on the Playstation you see.
So if that was the case, then why no other console ever had this reputation? Even the Wii, which had a ton of games specifically made for young children (N64 only had a handful), had the "Casual console" label instead of another kiddie console. No other system in history had this rep. Only the N64, despite having things like Turok from early on and stuff like Goldeneye.
I just wonder, all these PS1 users who supported this claim, what is their opinion now in retrospect?

It's almost like the whole thing was Sony's marketing trick to patronize the N64. Could it be?
