I will agree. Based from my experiences at the time gaming was pretty much a kiddie environment (with consoles, not home computers). With Sega, Nintendo etc, adults usually bought consoles for their kids, even if they themselves wanted to play them.
I remember newspaper articles and other media sources commenting on how the PlayStation was the first console that many adults were actually buying for themselves without being embarrassed about it.
Before as I said many adults bought consoles to play with themselves but used their kids as cover. I can clearly remember the newspaper articles and the system being discussed on TV shows.
Playstation made gaming cool for adults.
