Why is there no 128 bit os?

A 128-bit processor may never occur because there is no practical reason for doubling the basic register size. One of the reasons for migrating from 32-bit to 64-bit computers was memory (RAM) addressing; however, for all practical purposes, there was only a need for a few more bits beyond 32 (see binary values).

Was ps1 128 bit?
Was PS1 128 bit? I remember older game systems performance being measured in “bits”- N64 was 64 bits, PS1 was 32 bits, NES was 8.
