Very good word of mouth. I dont remember any console having as good word of mouth as PS1 did, but perhaps back then I was more receptive to it since the internet was obviously not the thing its now today. One thing that came along with the word of mouth was the popular perception that it was for a more mature audience than the Nintendo consoles, and speaking from my personal background: Here Sega had no popularity whatsoever, so it was either "Kiddy Nintendo consoles or mature PS1" so it took off very easily.
The other main thing being the fantastic library of quality games.
