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)


So, you're saying that Nintendo wasn't making good profits back then?

I think that if there was no Sony, the market would be much smaller today.

Yes, Crash and Spyro were very popular.

Sonic games released on consoles with barely any other IPs to compete with but I have to ask - are you including the bundle Sonic The Hedgehog game in that bundle? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but Sonic is a Japanese game.


Nintendo were making profits yes, but they were millionaires, not WE HAVE A GOD DAMN BOTTEMLESS PIT OF MONEY TO THROW AT DEVELOPERS TO WIPE OUR ARSES FOR US billioniares.

Sonic 2 sold over 6 MILLION on a 35 million selling console, thats a huge attach rate. (bundles or not, cos crash was bundled too)

Barely any other ip's? and how many ip's were around on ps1 when crash came along? Sonic had to compete with the likes of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Streets of Rage, Fifa and many more.

I'm gobsmacked man.

Whats Sonic been a Japanese game (at a time when Japenese games were dominant) got to do with it?
