Nintendo-64 or PlayStation? Which to buy for XMas?

abond asks "I haven't played Video Games for quite a while, but my daughter is now old enough to start. What are the Pro's and Con's of each system, they seem to cost about the same ~US$130. Merry Christmas."
C : I don't post these things to incite flamewars, but this issues tends to attract advocacy responses, which is not what abond asked for. He had a question and I would like him to have an answer, so be aware...I am watching this topic.
