what dafuck does that have to do with what made the ps1 so special lol

and any true playstation fan will tell you, sales were the LAST thing that made those console so awesome, and by the end of this gen when people will look at overall sales, I don't think that question will even come up.....

Actually console sales were the reason why PS1 was special. Without console sales, 3rd parties wouldn't have flocked to the PS1 and sony would have been royally screwed as they had the weakest 1st party support at the time out of the 3 consoles available.

 Not really. Look at Wii and the limited 3rd Party support it has received despite its impressive sales.
