>>12893016Yes?
>>12893016Thanks Sony for saving video game of the crack of 1993 https://mdshock.com/2022/05/09/a-second-atari-shock-the-decline-of-the-16-bit-console-era/

>>12893016HOLY SHIT!
for the worse
praise sony
>>12893016>Suddenly games are not for children anymoreAnd thus everything went to shit.
>>12893016>Suddenly games are not for children anymore.Not on my dreidel.
>>12893016You just want to make porn games.
>>12893016>Suddenly games are not for children anymore.Thanking the marketing jews for attempting to get my grandma into games, but then the PSX went to me because boomers and older literally can't into tech.
>>12893016It's really amazing how much Sony got right and almost immediately dislodged the main players and became the dominant leader. The engineers at Sony were geniuses.
>>12893053What did he mean by this?
>>12893060Break it down into parts, ESL-kun. I know you can do it!
>>12893062>but then the PSX went to me because boomers and older literally can't into tech.This is poorly written.
>>12893064The PSX (PlayStation) in the family went to me, because given to my grandma, she wouldn't be able to use it. Are you still confused, Pablo?
>>12893076Yes, I am still confused. What exactly made your family think that the PlayStation would be something your grandma would enjoy?
>>12893083My family bought it, hence the boomer retardation. Holy shit, I thought it was just memes, but spics are literally incapable of reading.
>>12893085Okay, but why did they buy it in the first place if not for you? Mentioning your grandma seems irrelevant.
>>12893087Don't worry about it Pablo, this conversation is clearly above your comprehension. Go pick the fruit.
>>12893089I was right to call you out lol
>>12893091lol
>>12893092Just keep this in mind the next time you try to fit in. Americans absolutely can tell that you’re not one of us.
>>12893095YES SAAR I AM AMERICAN VIVEK VOTER YES VERY VIABLE SAAR
>>12893098Reminder that the voice of 4chan is the United States first and foremost. Everyone else is an afterthought.
>>12893102The vast majority of 4chan posters are kikes using jeets/redditors/bots as proxies. Fucking lmao.
I've enjoyed all their consoles, the PS2 had an incredible life span for me. From broke high school student to broke college student. I could always fun something weird and fun for under $20.
>>12893056It was literally just>super nintendo but betterSony called dibs on it and Nintendo was forced to do something different and gimmicky for the rest of its existence.
>>12893107That’s great, but this >>12893053 is ESL gibberish and I correctly called it out.
>>12893113It is perfectly comprehensible, and I even explained it to you painstakingly. You have brown skin and 75 IQ.
>>12893115Your parents bought a PlayStation "for the family"? Not buying it. Where are you really from?
>>12893119Your asshole, glownigger.
>>12893109good for you. you were basically a spic.
>>12893123Uh huh. And there it is.
>>12893126What is?
>>12893127What games prompted them to buy a PlayStation for the whole family? What year was it?
>>12893124No that's you.
>>12893131They didn't buy it for the whole family, they bought it for my grandmother. You are one stupid fucking spic who can't speak English.
Every argument on /vr/>your childhood experience was different from mine? You must be LARPing
>>12893135What games did they think your grandmother would enjoy? What year was it?
>>12893016I don't think anyone was playing PS1 in 94.
Ah nice a schizo shitflinging fight. Throw a turd at that guy haha
>>12893136Nah, I’m rightfully calling out nonsensical bullshit.
>>12893137Golf. 2026.
The anon I’m arguing with will deliver a truthful answer any minute now.
>>12893140More power to you, schizo-kun.
How is the weather in mumbai?
Ok I'll admit it. I'm from Sri Lanka.
>>12893151Nice try, Mossad.
>>12893147Still waiting.
>>12893153For what?
>>12893156Buying a PlayStation for a grandma makes no sense.
Just observing the fight but I just want to point out that calling someone a random name that's perfectly common in their country is not going to sting.
>>12893158>hurr durr>durr>hurr
>>12893161Well it doesn’t make sense. I’m from Pennsylvania and my grandparents were in Texas. It would’ve never occurred to my parents at any point ever to buy a family game console.
>>12893017Nintoddlers are still on seethe mode even after 32 years.
>>12893167>my parents bought a PlayStation for my grandma, but she didn’t play it, so it got handed down to me Does this honestly make sense to the other two people observing this thread?
>>12893163I guess good ol' Texas doesn't love their grandmothers enough to give them vidya. Sad.
>>12893169Makes perfect sense to me. Ever happened to you that you had tea at a friend's house and had the experience completely shatter your notion of what's normal in a household?
>>12893169he's a spic, his grandma was like 34 when he was 7
>>12893032The fuck?!
>>12893169The fact that you keep on thinking this is 'insane' or whatever just proves that you don't have a family that loves you. That's why you're a bitch-ass bolshevik.
>>12893179>Ever happened to you that you had tea at a friend's house and had the experience completely shatter your notion of what's normal in a household?No, not once ever.
>>12893184>That's why you're a bitch-ass bolshevik.I have no idea what that means. Again, 4chan is from the perspective of the U.S. first and foremost.
>>12893184Americans hate their families for some reason. They're weirded out by so much as having to interact with a cousin for christmas or something.
>>12893192Bolsheviks were known in Europe primarily. Dumb brown puppet of the jews.
>>12893184alright settle down hijo
>>12893016The Future is now!
>>12893195Why would I know or care about this?
>>12893196
>>12893016Well they had these advantages...>CD Player/Video Game console>Great titles such as Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid.>$299>Great anti-piracy protection.
>>12893207>>Great anti-piracy protection.Lol.
>>12893203>OYE THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT
>>12893221You piratefags needed a modchip to bypass the protection. LOL Thankfully the majority of owners were normies who didn't know a thing about piracy for PS1, bought the games like a normal person would and didn't take a chance to brick their console with an unsolicited modchip.
>>12893235You’re underestimating how many South Americans and poorfag Eastern Europeans there are on this board and 4chan in general. Mod chipped consoles and burned CD-Rs/DVDs were the norm for them.
>>12893246Pretty much. A psx (and later ps2) that wasn't "unlocked" was basically a brick. Nobody was gonna buy original games knowing you could have your console chipped painlessly at the nearest tech shop for the price of 1 game.Honestly disappoints me how piracy has become niche here now that people can actually afford games (and netflix and spotify). I still pirate all of my shit if I can help it.
>>12893246Pretty sure South Americans couldn't afford CD burners. Pretty sure the majority of Europeans were normies who didn't pirate.
>>12893262They bought copied games from the local market. They weren’t doing it themselves. Same with Eastern Europe.
>>12893262That's another topic. Modchipping your console back then didn't mean "free games off the internet", it meant getting 20 games for the price of one at your local cyber.The first game I downloaded and burned myself was MK Armageddon when it launched. I left uTorrent running all night!
>>12893274Don't need a "uTorrent" to copy PS1 games onto your hard drive and burn them on CD-R's. Borrowing from a friend or renting the game, downloading on PC and burning them on CD-R's does the trick.
>>12893202Look in the mirror.
>>12893016>Suddenly games are not for children anymore.Sega CD, 3DO, Jaguar, Marty, CD32, Saturn>Developers went from 6MB cartridges to 650MB CDs.Sega CD, 3DO, Jaguar, Marty, CD32, Saturn>Third-Party developers received friendlier and more accessible publishing arrangements, lowering the barrier to entry while maximizing profits.Sega CD, 3DO, Jaguar, Marty, CD32, Saturn>The PlayStation business model fundamentally changed the video game industry by shifting console gaming from a toy market into a multi-Billion-Dollar mainstream entertainment empire.no
>>12893421>Sega CD, 3DO, Jaguar, Marty, CD32, SaturnAll of these consoles are problematic for various reasons.Sony simply did everything right at the right time, taking advantage of its competitors' retardation and low awareness..Remember that the PSX only took off after 1996 because the N64 and Saturn were generally disappointing, which triggered the mass adoption of Sony's console by both players and developers. Don't forget that FF7 was originally being developed for the N64.Don't be selfish. Don't be stupid. Don't be stubborn. This is the recipe for success in the business world.
>>12893421>shit no one cares about, shit no one cares about, shit no one cares about, shit no one cares about, shit no one cares about"Existed" doesn't mean "mattered"
>>12893458>>12893449>Sony simply did everything right at the right timeYes. The industry was changing and Sony had the most money to throw around at the time. Plus they got lucky by the circumstance a number of times.There's nothing to praise the corporation for. They decided on more RAM at the last minute. 1MB would have been terrible.They would have gone with $50k NEWS workstations as devkits if not for SN Systems, for example, who knew Sega was cutting costs by using PCs. This would have been unaffordable for many devs.
>>12893516Pouring money != success. See Microsoft and Sega and Nintendo had all the money they needed to develop their respectives consoles.
>>12893110People that buy nintendo products bought cardboard because nintendo told them too. Sony never achieved this level of brand loyalty. No other company did.
>>12893197Best system menu ever.
Tranny Clown
Without PlayStation there would be no games like Resident Evil or Final Fantasy VII.
