Yeah, truly. Sont didn't really have to do anything, really. Nintendo had an iron grip on the publishers, and those wanted to get out of it asap to be able to make more money with different games and platforms. The N64 still using cartridges didn't help matters at all either. Sega Saturn's GPU was based on a technology without future, the world already having spun into a different direction, which made programming games for it very difficult and thus expensive. Add to this that the Saturn wasn't doing so hot due to previous blunders with the Mega CD and 32X being touted as the next big thing before and thus consumers being wary of Sega. So no small wonder why publishers flocked to Sony instead. It's competitors done fucked it up big time and Sony was the only real alternative. And even that was slow early on due to the publishers fearing Sony could be another CDi or 3DO disaster. The console floundered behind the N64 early on - until Final Fantasy VII came and propelled the PSOne sales right into orbit and stayed up there for 3 years. |
Do you realize that almost everything you said proved my point...? If there were no PlayStation, there would be no PlayStation, and the problems and issues you mentioned would have stinted console gaming growth. Even YOU implied that. But in reality, there is PlayStation which solved the issues you mentioned. So wrapping things up, what Sony did was give the consumers and developers WHAT THEY WANT. So call that "nothing" if you will. Because those who see "nothing," perceive NOTHING out of denial when there is something. Or if it makes you feel better, maybe it can be argued that Sony made console gaming "standard" because Nintendo and Sega FUCKED IT UP! Better? So would you rather go with a MORE PROVISIONAL OPTION or the FUCK UPS? Either way, it's history. Reality. Life. Get one.
