didnt 3DO, which used CD's, come out before the ps1?

ogvampire

yeah but weather or not it was mainstream is debateable.

what did you think of the rest of my post though?

3DO was known when it came out, it also got Time magazines top tech of the year award... so i would consider that mainstream

as with the rest of your post, points 1-3 look all good to me

although your summary is a little off, IMO. the 18-36 demographic was already around and buying videogames but there just werent alot of mature games on consoles at that time. sony didnt introduce that demographic, they just made a console that targeted that demographic

The biggest thing that Sony did f or me with the PS1 and PS2 was too make gaming socially acceptable and even cool.Before that gaming was regarded as a kids pastime and very few people my age where into video games.I was in my 20's when the PS1 came out and the way Sony marketed the PS1 changed they way people looked at games and gamers.

A bit like what Nintendo is doing with the Wii and DS now,but they did it 1st.

WoW (a terrible game and a terrible MMO, there are far better) and MGS4 (ungodly overrated movie game)

I also don't really agree with demons souls.

Pixel-Pirate

Lol those are actually 3 of my fave games from the last decade.Demon Souls is frikking awsome.8)

I dont think that Gears should have gotten game of the year ,great game but way too short.
