I think Playstation gets a little too much credit for making gaming mainstream, of the 3 major territories, Europe was the only one that grew significantly due to Playstation. Console gaming was already big in America & Japan before Playstation.

but it wasnt cool... the PS made gaming cool, so casuals could play it.
