You have to understand the ripple effect FF7 caused.
Here you have Saturn actually leading Ps1 in Japan... In US it was getting outsold 2 to 1 but it just had Virtua Cop, Virta Fighter 2 and Sega Rally come out which shut up the critics. Saturn actually looked promissing in early 1996...Sega boss told everyone to stop making all sega consoles other than Saturn. But then... Square announces FF7 for PS1. BAM!
Tomb Raider - a saturn exclusive gets a PS1 port, all other developers realize PS1 is the shit this gen...Sega starts getting owned in US and finally loses Japan christmas 1996. FF7 comes out January 1997 in Japan...destroys all.
All the other games were PS1 exclusives due to the fact that PS1 got the giant lead because of FF7.
