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. |
Mg was on the nes, resident evil was multiplatt(well it should have been but sega fucked it up), Tomb raider wa a saturn game...
and nintendo had mature games since the nes and has em till today. just because you are to young to remember games like doom doesnt mean it never existed...
Ps opened the market for casuals, and sony won every time they did that and lost everytime they went for the core. the ps3 was a massiv flop and sony had to eat a huge amount of loses just to stay relevant, and the vita sales are realy bad.
the PS brand is the biggest brand because sony just Has playstation, they dont have other brands like nintendo has with mario/pokemon/zelda or sega with sanic...
