PlayyStation, it did alot more for the industry. It was the FIRST to use CD-Rom, which every company started using after. It holds more space and loads faster. Also, if it wasnt for Sony Microsoft never woul dhave entered the gaming industry.


saturn came out before ps and used cds

This was already mentioned earlier in the thread. There were several CD systems before the PlayStation.

What I'd like to know is what he meant with "loads faster". Faster than what?

Also, if it wasn't for Nintendo, Sony would have never entered the gaming industry and more importantly, the PlayStation controllers to this day still use the SNES controller as their core. Now that's influential.

Lastly, "a lot" is not one word.


i didnt bother mentioning the earlier and less popular cd based consoles because i didnt feel like coming off as an elitest, so i just mentioned the saturn.

and yea, sony's game plan was basically brilliant when they entered the industry. buy third party exclusives, rip off the snes controller, and whore themselves to anybody who wants to make a game. to top it all off, they wouldnt even have the idea to enter if it werent for nintendo. and because of sony, microsoft entered. these people have a lot to thank nintendo for.

 edit: oh yea, and as far as the 'loads faster' part. i dont know, the only thing i can think of is the 64 and cartridge based systems... which dont load.

LOL I dont think Playstation would be in the top three of consoles. Maybe not even the Top 5. But SNES, NDS, and PS2 are definately better than the PS1.

SNES may be the greatest of all time. It was the dream system with great 3rd party support + Nintendo 1st party support.


Oh yea...almost forgot.

Super Metriod, Chrono Trigger, ALTTP, FF6, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island are 5 games that end this thread.

Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Metal Gear Solid, any platforming Crash Bandicoot, and any Spyro would gladly restert this thread.

PS2 > PS1 > SNES.

Its goona b difficult... but lets try to compare apples to apples here.

I mention SMW2:Yoshi's Island and the closest games on your list that compare are Crash and Spyro. Now...i'm a life long platforming whore and the very idea that you compare Crash and Spyro to SMBW2 offends me on a momentous scale. I'm not saying thy arent good games... but not even close to elite. Klonoa would have been a much better choice from the PS1 library.

I mention Chrono Trigger and FF6 and the closest games you list that compare are Xenogears and Vagrant Story. This may just be a matter of opinion, but CT and FF6 are waht I consider the best of the classical RPGS.

The rest really cant be directly compared.

And the fact that you're such an elitist offends me... how the hell is Yoshi's Island better than Crash or Spyro? at least use SMW 1, it's the better game!

Play Xenogears, and then talk about the best of the classical RPG's.

LOL, calling me an elitlist when it comes to platformers is a 100% fair critism of a personal flaw. Which seques into my next point. SMW 1 is a better platformer than both Crash and Spyro... thats true. However, SMW2 surpasses SMW1 in every possible category. It's has better level design, boss battles, challenge, controls, variety, obstacles, etc. The only thing about SMW2 that almost got annoying was baby mario... and if you are good that rarely happened.

Also, Xenogears is FAR too expensive to play now.

$50-60 is too expensive...?

How are you playing classic RPG's if that's too expensive for you...?
