      Lots of major mistakes in this video, like calling Battle Arena Toshinden "Tekken" and calling Ridge Racer Type 4 "Gran Turismo". These aren't obscure games, all four of those were major game releases at the time, so the fact that he can't even get the names correct is incredibly bad since this is suppose to be a look at the Playstation. It also doesn't help that the overall info in this video feels like it was taken from a poorly researched wiki and doesn't feel authentic at all.

    I remember getting a Playstation the year after it released for my birthday. The amount of hours, days, and months put into playing games on it still rings in my memories quite well. I stopped playing my SNES mostly, because of the PS and I also was still playing on my Sega Genesis as well. The PS was mind blowing to me, and my mom who would sit and play some of the 2 player games with me at the time. It was a very great time, and I still have some of my favorite games on a shelf today.

    Something that doesn't get talked about much because as far as I know this was only a thing in the UK, the PS1 was so instantly cool and part of pop culture that a lot of NIGHTCLUBS would start having them. Sony infiltrated the club scene thanks to games that fit the vibe pretty well like the Wipeout series and Ridge Racer, games legendary for their electronic music. Lara Croft in particular became such an icon of gaming that for a while she honestly sat up there with characters like Mario, Sonic and Pac-Man in terms of recognisability.

      It makes sense from a business standpoint to being games there too.
      SEGA did it before it was cool (pretend to be shocked)with games like Daytona and Sonic R.
      Why? Because more players means more profits. It helps business boom.
      Though day and date releases may affect hardware adoption, consoles are either sold at a loss, or made by former EA employees. (RIP 3DO, You did nothing wrong). So it's not a huge deal for them.
