Is the PlayStation the most important console?

The Playstation was the first console to break 100 million units sold and spearheaded the most transformative gaming generation as the industry added the third dimension.

It was born out of an abandoned CD-add on to the SNES and the rest of its life is a remarkable tale of timing, third-parties, and teaching the mainstream that video games weren’t just for kids.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
