these consoles did way more damage to the industry than /v/ would like to admit because they grew up with them.
But it's until the PS3, where there's no more mainline Ape Escape games.
PlayStation expanded the market and brought more games
The original PS has the most weird experimental games of any system

they built the industry from more than niche computer games to something actually worth buying but ok
Bullshit you might as well blame the people who pioneered computers and the internet for cuck porn

Fuck off you underage retards. I hate underage faggots who think the PS2 was some sort of elite, hardcore console that kept the "normalfags" at bay. You are talking about the age of Guitar Hero, Buzz, SingStar, Call of Duty, Killzone, Madden, FIFA, etc., etc. topping the charts, you fucking morons.
Fucking Sony fanboys, they want to have their cake and eat it too. It's the highest selling console of all time but NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE CASUALS AND DON'T YOU DARE SUGGEST OTHERWISE!

Sony ended a potential Nintendo monopoly when Sega put out a lame duck and then drew Microsoft in to stop them. Yeah, you can argue they're all shitty companies, but at least we have three dicks to pick from.

even tough sega was appealing to non gamers first

In what way? They just aped the greats that came before them and played it safe trying to make fewer errors than them. Their one boundary push was including a second analog stick which caught on and became an industry standard against most people's predictions at the time.
They weren't the first to appeal to Bad Boiz™ that was Sega. They weren't the first to try and monopolize exclusives, that was Nintendo. They weren't the first to buy exclusivity, that was Microsoft. They didn't introduce paid online. They didn't introduce microtransactions.
They have done literally nothing but be a vessel for other's ideas.

are you ok? do you need to talk to someone?
>>387458326
Ok? Present your argument then.

The third party shit is true as well. Nobody really talks about just how shitty Nintendo was to do business with when they were the big swinging dick. The shit they did back in the day still has consequences now.

Remember that time a dev team were tasked with bringing PlayStation blockbuster money printer and system seller Resident evil 2 to N64 and Nintendo couldn't even be arsed?
>To further compound Angel Studios’ challenge, his team had to first convert the game’s code from the C it was written in for the Playstation to the Assembly language used for coding on the Nintendo 64. Surprisingly, Nintendo wasn’t all that helpful during the entire affair (something that many developers working on the platform complained about) as it reportedly refused to share its own in-house microcode tools with developers, and the basic tools available suffered from poor documentation and no provided debuggers
