Without them it's entirely possible home consoles would never have caught on like they did in Europe and developing countries, with handhelds & home computers being the preferred choice instead. |
I am talking about the rate of change from one generation to the next as in the overall sales opposed (the escalation) to the impact individually from Sony (in said generation). How many consoles were sold overall and individually between the existing companies before Sony arrived? How how did the overall console industry grow since they stepped in? That is how you see their true impact. If it continues to grow it means their impact was positive. With Sony...you'll find that the industry actually grew because they got people who were interested in multimedia to meld themselves into gaming. The got a two in one deal. Microsoft took over for Sega essentially and essentially halved what Sony built. If you look up the sales from generation to generation you'll find this is somewhat accurate.
