Forums - Sony - History of the Sony PlayStation

those were the best years for sony, then came the PS3 thats when they were too overconfident thinking they could do the same with PS1 and PS2.

That second video was really interesting. Sony going to third parties and tooting 3d games, 3rd parties saying "No. Too expensive, too difficult". Then a SEGA game opens their eyes to the possibilities of 3D games and got the devs interested in SONY's proposition.

Those were the best gaming days of my life...now I'm stuck arguing with people about which system is "better" instead of talking about how awesome and unique each platform is...and what amazing games they have to offer.

I had people around me tell me that the N64 owned the PS1. I died with laughter on the inside. But the wars were never at this level back then.



btw i'd like to add to this that Nintendo and Philips DID release the console they were working on, and it was considered one of the worst (if not the worst) console EVER made (Very ironic considering the Playstation 1 is considered one of the best consoles ever made)



yes! the philips CD-I the one with "Great! i'll grab my stuff!"



and "Gay Luigi!"

oh how history repeats itself, only thing different is the price, once Sony can ship enough consoles at 250, or better 199 which is where a console gets 70% of it's sales, Sony will be back on top. Quote me on that



LOL@the ending, Sony Is No longer #1 in the Gaming world, tho PS3 Is #1 In My Heart



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords
