I played Amstrad CPC , NES and Sega master System before playstation 1. 3D Graphics leap with playstation was the biggest in history. This can be understood only for gamers of that period, if someone is younger he doesn't understand because he has 3D graphics for granted. SNES sold 50 million vs Playstation 100 million, that shows how many new people joined video game community due to 3d Graphics gaming. |
The SNES split it's marketshare with the Sega Genesis, which in tandem sold about 90 million units, so Playstation taking most of the 16-bit third party support and having similar numbers isn't much of a leap.
N64 was able to carve out a solid no.2 on the strength of the N64 having better 3D graphics and Nintendo having some top level blockbusters like Super Mario 64 (which is pretty much THE game everyone thinks about when talking about 3D revolutionizing anything), GoldenEye 007, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, etc. etc. etc.
