The PS1. It didn't sell off of hype (it really couldn't). It had, arguably, the best launch of any PlayStation and road a steady line-up until FFVII came out. I agree with you about the PS2, though. Just so happened to live up to its hype ten-fold (while, ironically, being my least favorite PlayStation).

I am not so sure...PS1 launch games were pretty terrible and Sony marketing hype was in top gear. U R Not (red) Let's not forget the 1995 E3 sony had where they spent more money on their booth than everyone else combined.
But to your point, PS1 didn't start selling really well until the great games came out, and it had a price advantage. Hence it wasn't all hype...

Ridge Racer? Extreme Games? Toshinden? Jumping Flash? To name a few. They were defninitely not terrible. Besides, I remember the marketing, but not the hype. Not for PS1. People didn't start catching on right away. It certainly had no where near the hype of either the PS2 or PS3.

Those are pretty terrible man but I agree, hype machine with PS1 wasn't what it was with other Playstation consoles. Few good launch games on Saturn/Playstatin I can think of are Astal, Rayman...err?? Infact only launch game that gen that was an instant classic and warrants system purchase day 1 was Super Mario 64. Too bad it, along with Pilotwings 64 was the only game on n64 for 3 months lol.
