So what we should make fun of Sony now for abandoning the hardcore and not releasing any good games and totally destroying the market for good. Is that the point of this thread now haha.

Sony reached a huge mainstream appeal with one of the biggest gaming brands. I mean there's no denying it was a mainstream phenomenon similar to that of Wii right now. But it couldn't have done it without NES and GB completely opening those markets up before them, which is where credit is due. They opened it and PS expanded it.

I give most credit to Sony by really tapping into markets that had nothing before hand, especially European and Asian markets, something only the GB had really done before it.
