In 1995 i was asking to a chinese friend who owned a gaming store about the next nintendo console, we talked about it and he said that he just got a batch of sony consoles and he was trying some games, at that time i read about the playstation in magazines, so i tried too, i played Ridge Racer, Tekken, Wipeout and WWF Wrestlemania, i liked all of them but i was impressed with Wipeout, so i told him that if he got more games he let me know because i was interested in the console... A month later he calls me saying that he got more titles, one of them Twisted Metal, the other ones were Warhawk, Arc de Lad and Suikoden, so imagine my surprise playing those games... days later i bought the Playstation and 5 games (Wipeout, Twisted Metal, Suikoden, Tekken and Ridge Racer)
The thing was, i wasn't expecting for the console to hit hard, i was expecting for the N64 to do that, then i heard that Final Fantasy VII was going to be a Playstation title, and then my friend tells me about Resident Evil, months later Tomb Raider, then Gran Turismo, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, FFVIII, FF Tactics, Megaman 8, X4, Tekken 3, Metal Gear Solid, Tenchu, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Tony Hawk 2, etc... That console got more games that i ever dreamed of...
I got a PS and a PS2 because of the games, but Sony really got my loyalty when they worked more on the 1st party (Wipeout, Twisted Metal and Gran Turismo were great, but then Team ICO came, the Dark Clouds, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, God of War, etc, so i got the PS3 thinking about the 1st party mainly, and as long as those games are strong, they can get my money...
