That I agree with, when I said that people were overstating how PS1 made games cool for older gamers, I wasn’t trying to imply that Sony didn’t contribute to the growth in this demographic, just that they weren’t the sole reason and the trend was already beginning before PS1 released.
Did Sony contribute to and accelerate this trend? Absolutely, but it wasn’t something they created out of thin air. Kids who played games grew up to become teens/adults who played games and graphics becoming more realistic created a more clear divide between games aimed at kids, teens & adults.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
