No, because the PS was a console that was suppose to make gaming mainstream, and here is the thing you guys aren't going to beleive "CASUAL" yep, that is right. The PS was the first casual console. So I don't think 3rd parties would matter. they sure haven't in the Wii's case.

 

Wasn't the NES the first casual console?

Back then there wasn't much of a difference between casual or hardcore, because almost everybody was starting gaming. Almost all games were hard though. Examples being Metroid and Zelda. I don't think hardcore was created until the Snes days.

Hey - a lot of us here had been playing games for a while before gen 5.  The PS1 did expand the market quite a bit though.

 

I was talking about the nes. :)
