It really is kinda easy to forget just how much of a leap the PS was above the Super Nintendo and Genesis. I would say the move from 16 bit cartridge consoles to 32 bit 3D CD based consoles was the biggest shift to this day.
This commercial is especially great because Sony had actually offered the PS system to Nintendo and Nintendo had declined. They could have been the winner of the last 2 generations hands down if they hadn't been stuck with the cartridge mindset. They actually put an article in Nintendo power back in 95 comparing cartridges and CDs as a rocket and a snail over load times, propaganda at its best. |
Well but working together with Sony would probably have meant the end of Nintendo as an independent company, so I'm not sure if it would've been better for them to accept the deal.
