Is the Xbox Brand Simply Weaker Than the Playstation Brand?

Alot of teenagers and adults didn't play many games until playstation came out. Was there a market for mature games before playstation? No. Playstation was the console to buy if you wanted more mature themed games.. Was it sega? Nope. Was it nintendo? Hell no. Even now, nintendo barely dabbles with mature themed games. It has nothing to do with what seemed "cool". It's as simple as playstation having games that appealed to teenagers and adults. Playstation introduced gamers to the likes of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, ect when nintendo wouldn't touch games like those. Look at what games sold the best on Playstation. The vast majority of the games on the Playstation were mature or rated for teenagers. You can deny it all you want but surely playstation opened the floodgates on mature games and that's why it was so popular.

So much wrong in this post. In a nutshell, I completely disagree.

I guess you weren't around during the early 90s? I saw plenty of teenagers and even adults playing video games. And I assume many teenagers and adults played Pac Man, Galaga, and other classics.

I'm not sure where the revisionist history of just kids playing games comes from. Its simply not accurate.
