The gaming industry was about to die before Sony came along. Sony is by far the best thing to happen to the industry.

That's by far the most ludicrous statement on this site to date. The industry was dying? If i recall properly the gaming industry in the mid 90's was having a very good time with the snes and genesis systems. Actually it was Nintendo that took the industry out of a slump in the 80's. Now, i acknowledge that Sony did a great thing with the ps1 and further down the line with ps2, but sure as hell they did not save anything from anyone. That is fact. You? You're a joke with those kind of statements.
