That most likely isn't so. Playstation really did bring in a lot of new gamers by making gaming appealing to adults.

Nintendo saved console gaming in late 80s, but without PS it would still now be mainly a kiddie hobby. PS expanded the user base, and gave legitimacy to mature gaming. And without PS1, I doubt Microsoft would have ever entered the gaming scene. Without Sony entering the scene, home console gaming would have probably died by the turn of the millenium, Nintendo would still be producing Gameboys for kids, and PC scene would have been much much smaller.


can you please explain what you mean? i dont remember a big spike in mature IPs exklusive on ps, that made things different than other IPs on sega or nintendo...

Another thing is Sony gets way too much credit for appealing to mature gamers. Some Sony fans think teenagers and adults didn't play games prior to Playstation.

I knew adults that enjoyed playing NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, etc. But it wasn't cool until Sony made it so...
