Considering when gaming became popular in the 80's, a lot of those kids (myself included) still play games to this day, typically of sony, they BOUGHT in to something at just the right time.
They have rabbit foot syndrome.
Look at it this way, before sony arrived gaming was getting more and MORE popular anyway (any arcade all over the world would be testiment to that)
3D gaming was about to boom anyway thanks to SEGA and the Virtua Fighter series.
Bottom line______________ is, sony get far more credit than they actually deserve, THEY GOT LUCKY.
Hence they are reality stars in my eyes, not A list celebrities like Atari, Nintendo, SEGA, Capcom, Namco, Konami, Taito and many more.

And yet, the Saturn which came out before the PS1 failed miserably. They got lucky but somehow Nintendo and Sega didn't? What gives? At the end of the day, Sony has the top 2 best selling games on the PS1, created the Crash and Spyro series and made FF the brand that it is worldwide.

SEGA and Nintendo did not have the financial muscle to compete with sony dude.
If there was no sony, do you honestly think that those gamers from the 80's (who would have been reaching teens/late teens by the time sony came on the scene) would have suddenly neglected gaming?
As i said, gaming was about to BOOM anyway in the 90's, sony just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time grrrrrrrrrrr.
Also, you talk about crash and spyro? were thay THAT popular considering that ps1 sold 100+ million?
Sonic games sold millions on a console that only sold like 35 million. (and data was harder to track back then)
