If the PlayStation was never made, do you think video games would be better off? Sega would still be making consoles, and Nintendo would still be number one...But would we ever have the advanced graphics and technology that video game consoles have brought us in the last 5 years?
Think about it, PlayStation has revolutionized the video games industry by being one of the first consoles to bring full 3D polygonal games to home consoles. It was also one of the main consoles to pioneer the use of CD-ROM formatted games instead of bulky cartridges (not that there's nothing wrong with cartridges...).
Also, PlayStation 2 was the first console to bring PC-quality graphics (at that time) to the home console world. And ever since then, gamers have been demanding consoles that are consistantly more powerful...that push the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
So if PlayStation never existed, do you think video game consoles would have ever reached the potential they have now? Would CD-ROM formatted games have ever become a reality?
