im sorry but this is BS, plain and simple. Sony actually had a video game development team. BEFORE they even got into the console making buisness. It was called Sony imagesoft and they made Hook which was one of the the most acclaimed games at the time which ironically enough was a SNES exclusive i think. As for not having internal software? Did you even own a PS?? Parappa the Rapper, Wipeout, Xtreme games, Cool Boarders, Jet Moto all say hi

These were not good games in comparison to what 1st parties like Sega and Nintendo offered at the time. I'm sorry, but nobody could support the argument that anyone bought a Playstation for the 1st party games except for Gran Turismo and Crash Bandicoot. 2 IPs, one that came very late in the cycle (gran turismo). So as much as you might hate to hear it, the last thing it is is BS.

We all know that the PSX sold thanks to Squaresoft, Konami, Capcom, Namco and other friends.

And Sony Imagesoft who? Yeah, don't think I recall.

Now just jumping around casue you were wrong. Im not arguing that anyone bought a PS for those games. I dont know where your pulling that from. YOU said that they had not internally developed games from the start I just showed you five that said they did. and add Jumping Flash and Twisted Metal(which was quite popular) to the list. Just be a man and admit you were wrong.

As for Sony imagesoft. and just man up and say you were wrong, that was a dev team that had been around prior to PS

k Oni. If I'm wrong, I will man up.

The games and their makers:

Coolboarders was made by UEP Systems, and published by SCE.

Jet Moto was made by SingleTrack (now part of Infogrames), and published by SCE.

Wipeout was made by Psygnosis and was also released on the PC and on the Saturn. They are now part of Sony as of 1993 (2 years before the PSX west launch).

Xtreme games was made by SCEA. 1 game

Parappa the Rapper was made by NanaOn-Sha and published by SCE.

 

Now for the other two

Jumping Flash was made by Exact Co., Ltd. and Ultra Co., Ltd. and published by SCE.

Twisted Metal was made by Single Track in development, and completed by SCEA in production, and published by SCE.

 

1 game Oni.

 

EDIT:

"YOU said that they had not internally developed games from the start I just showed you five that said they did."

I don't remember saying that. As far as my memory goes, the Playstation launched with Battle Arena Toshiden. I was just saying that people weren't buying it for that, but for 3rd party games and that 1st party offering at launch and early on was 0 (but I was exaggerating... sorry, I meant virtually 0). And I meant internally developed... I was unclear there, so for being unclear, sorry.


If TM was finished by SCE then that would count. As for people not buying it for those games. WHy would they?? That makes no sense. Ninty and Sega had multiple gaming systems made at this point. With multiple franchises, lets be reaslistic, were you expecting SOny to just have butt loads of internally developed games from just there first console?? Especially since said console was intended to be an add-on and they had one dev team? The fact that they slammed Ninty and Sega so soundly makes that console all the more impressive IMHO
