For those of you who say "Someone else would have filled the void" or "Sony got lucky." I don't know about that. You the need to consider the fact that Sony wanted nothing to do with making console hardware after talks between them and Nintendo fell through with the proposed Nintendo CD add-on. It was Katuragi that convinced the hot shots at Sony to push on with the Playstation project. Because think about it. If Sony didn't originally wanted to do it, who else would have? I have not heard of any other major hardware manufacturer who went as far as Sony eventually did to capitalize on the console market. Also if it were so obvious that it was luck that pushed the PlayStation success, then most other major hardware manufacturer could have easily trounced Sony and its first entry in to the console market. But there were no other takers. Other than Nintendo and Sega, no one else challenged Sony if it were so obvious that they didn't have a pray of doing it on their own.
