That was also the NES.

 

PS1 just widened it even further. 

In Europe and others, PS still dominates always due to the fact that it popularised it a lot more. NES and SNES  didn't break 10m in Europe+Others, PS1 sold 45m+ in EU and others. In Lebanon for instance PS1 was the first to really make an impact on the home console market.

Obviously in America and Japan, Nintendo were the first to do that but they never really broke out world wide till the Wii (apart from the handhelds of course)

I'm willing to bet that SMB1 would be recognized over Crash Bandicoot 1 in pretty much all over the world. It wasnt just about the amount sold, it was a whole movement that started with the NES even in Europe. In Sweden for instance at one point every sixth home had an NES. That's batcrazy. 

Then obviously Playstation 1 cranked it up a notch or two and took the console business to a whole other level.
