without a PS1 there wouldn't be an xbox 360 or PS2

so should it be ranked higher than them?

according to your logic yes

Why wouldn't there have been a PS2 or 360?

Sure there would of been.  They just wouldn't of been made by Sony or Microsoft.

They would of had different names.  The Sega Dreamcast could of just as eaisly took on the role the PS2 took on had the PS2 not existed.

the market won't have grown that much

SEGA would still be there

Micrsoft entered BECAUSE PLAYSTATION was dominating

so why is PS1 below them?

Why wouldn't the market have grown that much?

What did the PS2 do that expanded the market?

Can you even name one thing?

I doubt it.  It didn't do anything except be the most popular system at the right time.

The market would of expanded just as much.  The 360 and PS2 didn't bring anything new to the table that wouldn't of been added on anyway.  They didn't disrupt the scene in any way and bring in something new.

No, but it DID expand it......can you deny that? (I myself never got it till a year before Ps3 came out)

If I have to name 1 thing I'll say, it made the sanbox genre with GTA.

@2nd bolded

Then why the hell is PS1 BEHIND xbox 360 & PS2........my problem is with IGN's basis of ranking this list......it seems very random

As you agree 360 & PS2 did not dirupt the market or expand it......you must also agree then that PS1 should be in front of both?
