To be fair, Nintendo and Sega was pushing 3D gaming before Sony entered the fray. And we all know N64 was superior with the polygons.

When PS1 launched they made a platform that did a pretty good job pushing polygons. But people still give them way too much credit, Sony came into the industry because it was already thriving. People seem to think video games weren't popular until PS1.

best selling console before ps1 wasn't able to even outsold ps3 so yeah gaming wasn't as popular as when ps1 came

If you say so, I think you're wrong. Gameboy sold 118 million units by the way. SNES, Genesis, Turbo 16 accounted for about 100 million units. So a lot of gamers already existed even before Playstation.

Playstation was merely a good piece of hardware in an already thriving market. But its the 3rd parties that really brought people to Playstation, this is a fact.

I was talking about home consoles
Who said 3rd parties is not the reason Playstation was popular,Xbox is selling well even if ps4 outsell it because of 3rd party too,Nintendo home consoles is selling bad because there's no third party support

So Gameboy doesn't matter? Maybe we should give it some credit for making gaming fans. Instead people tend to give more credit to Playstation.

Right, 3rd parties would have made other platforms successful if PS1 didn't exist. Hence, the industry would have been fine without Playstation. That's all I'm saying. However, I believe compeition is a good thing so I'm glad Playstation does exist. Some people don't want Xbox to exist but they clearly make Sony work harder.


The thread is about xbox brand vs playstation brand and xbox don't have handheld i don't know why i should talk about Gameboy here.

Playstation fans will give credit to playstation ,Nintendo fans will give credits to Nintendo consoles,Microsoft will give credits to microsoft consoles,a fans of a singer or a football team will give credits to their favourite singer and football team nothing strange here,i'm not fans of any consoles i only buy a consoles if i like the games in this console.

You think before PS1 ,third party stay doing nothing!!!they was supporting the most succesfull console with games, yet none of home console sold over 100 millions before Playstation home consoles,PS3 had worse version of third party game yet it outsold XB360 it's mean that Playstation brand is stronger and there's 0 credits in what i'm saying



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
