Sony fans really live in their own reality where they think gaming started in 1995, lol. Even all "marketed to older teens!!!!" shit was already being done by Sega for years by that point. They just mixed the marketing of Sega with Nintendo's third party support. 

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.

I was there.

PS1 was indeed mind-blowing and awesome, but it didn't pioneer 3D alone.

The Saturn beat it to market and was also 3D-capable. PC had polygonal 3D before PS1 released. Heck, I played Starfox on the SNES in polygonal 3D before the PS1 released. N64 came out shortly afterwards and had more advanced 3D capabilities.

PS1 absolutely deserves credit for playing an important role in the 3D revolution, but it was also just one of multiple pioneers.
