uhh im not so sure if this thread is gonna end well (ive only seen the first page so who knows it maybe very bad now).
all i can say is that without Playstation i may have stopped gaming in my teen days, since i used to play Nintendo games when i was a kid but i got bored of them after a while, and i wasnt interested in some of the other Nintendo games to begin with, so assuming that without Playstation the Xbox wouldnt have been a thing then yeah i may have stopped gaming, (thats the only thing that i can say for sure).
actually no, i may still be playing some RTS games that i used to play on PC from time to time like Homeworld 2, Ryse of Nations, Empire Earth etc
