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.
Just have to say that gamers today need to thank GenX for carrying gaming forward after the game crash in 1983. We not only kept buying games, we made a lot of those games too. GenX was the generation that decided to never stop having fun. We embraced "geek stuff" and refused to "grow up". Critically, the PS1 came out right when a lot of us were getting "real jobs" and we wanted games for actual adults. Sony delivered.

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.
Great vid man. Ah the days of stumbling home from the pub with your mates and booting up Wipeout. Good times. Great times. Woild love to see you do every PS in a series.
15:20 no floating point processor, textures and geometry were all handled with whole numbers. I'd go into specifics on handling floating points within whole numbers, but that's beyond the scope of this comment.
Sega developed the first console to really rival Nintendo with the Mega Drive (Genesis). Sega had over a 50% market share during the 16-bit era and absolutely dominated here in Europe. Sure, the occasional person here and there had a Super Nintendo, but the big N didn't become a household name in the UK until the Nintendo 64. Likewise, our market didn't crash due to ET on the Atari. We were all happily playing Spectrums, Commodores and the Mega Drive's predecessor, the Master System. No-one here had really heard of the NES until TH-cam and the AVGN.
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.
Something Austin misses with Nintendo's decision to not go with Sony's CD-ROMs was more directly because they wouldn't have made as much money. On the NES and SNES consoles, third parties had to buy the cartridges from Nintendo, meaning Nintendo made money on the carts directly. With Sony producing the CD-ROMs instead, Nintendo would miss out on this (rather large) revenue stream. This decision was also kept in place for the Nintendo 64 which is why it also used cartridges. It wasn't until Nintendo was able to partner with Matsushita to produce Gamecube discs that had to be licensed through Nintendo--i.e. if you were a third party who wanted to make games on the Gamecube, you had to buy the discs through Nintendo who then had Matsushita produce them. This was all Yamauchi's business decisions.
Great video Austin. Very interesting to hear the history of devices like this. Would you consider doing one about the OG Xbox - that would be another good story.
One of the big reasons playstation got a lot of developers on board was the production time of games, cartridges took a while to make and you had to make a big bet on launch, which often lead to companies having to sit on dead stock, where as with cds you can burn them easily, sony was able to offer companies new stock in 3 days, when Nintendo could take months
As a long time Xbox user who moved over to PS recently, the answer is they offered more innovation and beneficial options. This doesnt mean they or the other 2 are flawless, but PS still offered many important factors that Xbox was axing like offline-use and complete 1st party games on disc, plus some unique games like Deep Rock Galactic only had PS5 physicals so no brainer. Xbox really poked their own wheel spoke and dont even know what to blame.
Buying my first PS1 is a memory I remember fondly. It was my birthday on a Easter Sunday and my dad wanted to buy me the PS1 but all the stores were closed. I was so eager to get the console we went to a swamp meet and bought a used one. I didn't care, it was awesome. I still remember turning that bad boy on and playing my first game, Wipeout. Ah, good memories.
Playstation fans shouldn’t be happy about the current state of Xbox and they won’t realise this until they’re gone. A monopoly on the entire home console market would screw over both publishers and consumers and they could charge Apple prices for their consoles and games with no competition to stop them. They already tried this with the PS3 after the massive success of the PS2 when they tried to charge $599 for cheapest model which was alot back then and it made them lose market share to Xbox because a 360 at the time was like $299 and forced them to lower their prices eventually.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING I NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO IS HAVE THE STARTUP OF THE NUMBER ONE GAME CONSOLE.. AND I MUST SAY THE PLAYSTATION ONE HAVE THAT NUMBER ONE STARTUP
That start up sound is still sick to this day. I was a Sony kid. had ever ps1 game from us/ca and uk and Japan games. And the same for the ps2. my dad would go to work for a few months and come back with a box off all regions. And same for DVDs. had a uk tv and a Japanese one to. To go with both consoles. Ps1 and 2
YES thank you Austin! PS1 played such a big part of my gaming childhood as well and that bootup sound is iconic. I'll never forget my excitement to play games like Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2, Jet Moto, Medal of Honor, Klonoa, Croc, The Lost World, and so many more! I played on PS1 and later PC until the Playstation 3 came out upon which I got a PS2 😂
CeX sells them, I bought one there, and my mate in the Netherlands got one from them too. Any of the PS2 models are about as hard to come by as guns on a war zone.
16:11 Weird bias, especially not even mentioning how the N64 controller, although a bit odd in design, revolutionized analog control in 3D console gaming, which playstation absolutely struggled with in every way, and the playstation didn't release a copy of it with rumble until far later even after the N64 revolutionized rumble feedback in consoles with the rumble pack.
The N64 came in 1996, PlayStation and Saturn got sticks added in 1997. It doesn't matter if the PlayStation came first, it got sticks last, with Saturn 3D pad coming just months before Sony released the Dualshock.
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.
The playstation launched during my 2nd year at Uni in the UKand I would have been around 19 at the time, it was perfect for those nights when we couldn't afford to go down the pub with quick easy loading of games and superb graphics at the time, I would later go on to get the PS2 on lauch day and still have that original console to this day.
When I was a kid, my dad worked in Dubai. He sent me a PS1 for Christmas in 2004. But he didn't send any games. Being in a remote village in Kenya, I stayed with it for 2 years without any games until he brought me a PC. PC games were more accessible because of piracy. I donated the PS1 in 2008 without ever using it.
Sony with the CD offered very flexible ordering terms for developers where you needed to order way ahead with catridges from Nintendo, so if a game sold well you could more easily order more and the cost for a CD was way lower as well so it isn’t as waste of money to over order CDs as it was with catridges. PlayStation 1 had better margins for retailers which is why they pushed it more than any other console at the time.
I played the heck out of that demo CD that came with the Playstation when I bought it, cause I couldn't afford a game along with it until the next birthday around. That Crash, Wipeout and Ridgeracer demo, along with that Diehard trilogy demo. That game was something else. We lived at the peak of all ages, nothing like the 90's.
Xbox's main issue is that they take games that cater SOLELY to the states and assume it will be jist as popular elsewhere. Japan doesn't care for FPS games like the states, or big battle royales, so naturally they won't sell as good elsewhere in comparison. Sony, SEGA and Nintendo knew that and tried/try to cater to each domain with more genres like RPGs, platformers, racers, etc. I love Xbox, but they're incredibly dense.
The problem is that in some places inflation has far outpaced wage growth for decades now, the US or the UK come to mind, but they’re far from the only places where this has occurred.
Recently I wanted to get a ds console couldn’t figure out which console I wanted. Found a vintage Austin evans 2ds review!!! Least to say made my mind for me lol
PlayStation since '99 and always stayed with them (like their games + all my friends and nearly everyone i know here around Switzerland is on Playstation)
Don't forget - Sony planning for the long game: sell the hardware at a loss, knowing that the real money is in the software. A case study lesson still taught in B-schools around the world.
*PS1 and N64 had like 5 or 6 years advantage in the 90s before Xbox came out. Also back then, rummage/garage sales, flea markets were highly abundant and prices were extremely cheap, so a lot of people who couldn't afford either when new, could find one cheap second hand back then. Nostalgia, games being worth lots of money..etc.. weren't much of a thing back then, so people didn't really think twice to sell their console/games for cheap. Basically, all I'm saying is PS had a huuuuuge start before Microsoft and it greatly helped. The games were good, were super cheap to get, you had rental places that were abundant..etc.. and when Microsoft came around, alot of that was changing, Fast.*
The controller alone, set the precedence of the "normal" form factor we use today. Remember they didn't always have the dual analog, they created that. So much so that every console has adopted the dual stick because it just works with the console space to this date!
@@RedPillAlways you man nintendo sorry to correct you. but most "playstation games" are made by other dev's or taken over from nintendo say final fantasy
@@allinadadsday most all games are made by other Developers. So thats not any Flex especially since PlayStation an Nintendo are Publishers.. But out of Nintendo PlayStation Xbox and Sega PlayStation has the Best Developers.. FF is the ONLY game you got to spout that.. It was playable on Nintendo an When PS1 came out Squar Enix made it Playable on PlayStation then directed it more toward PlayStation when Nintendo fell off.. But please tell me more about these "Most Games" You speak of..
Man, I'm not gonna act like the N64 controller was some kind of next level experience or anything but it's not hard to use and not a bad controller. It's drawback is the same as the 3DS and PSP, only one analog stick. You hold it with your left hand on the leftmost handle for games that use the d-pad, and your left hand on the center handle for games that use the analog stick. Like, it's easy. Once you get past that, it's a six face button controller which for some reason was fine for Sega but bad for Nintendo? Hell, so many games offered control remapping that you could just move the controls to the C-buttons as if they were a PlayStation controller. It's how I played stuff like Mortal Kombat or Tony Hawk back in the day. It also had the rumble pack, so rumble isn't really something Sony was holding over Nintendo's heads. Factor in that like 95% of the PS1 library didn't even properly support the DualShock for analog movement and camera control, and it's not the huge slam dunk people act like it was. If the PS1 launched with dual analog and rumble it would probably have been much better supported and then it would be a different story altogether, but with what we actually got I'm not going to give Sony the W for finally getting the controller right on their *third try* (don't forget the Dual Analog came before the DualShock) and it not being supported by pretty much any game you would want to use it with.
It’s funny how the PS1 was pretty easy to develop for but then fast forward 2 generations and the PS3 was one of the harder video game systems to develop for 😂
Kudos to the PlayStation! Taking advantage of Nintendo using cartridges, Xbox reducing its exclusives, and Sega going on a downward spiral since Saturn (although I miss the Dreamcast so much!), it made mostly the right moves! I wish all 3 big names in console gaming to do well. We need competition!
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough you mean 2. xbox and ps are same hardware and are coming togheter this year with microsoft releasing games on the ps5. and then you have nintendo wich everyone also owns even if they have a xbox,ps or pc, just because the games from nintendo are so different then what evryone else have and they are great
Imagine being the corporate suit who convinced Nintendo that the move to the Phillips CDI was BETTER than a partnership with the Sony Playstation......
I remember when my brother brought home a PlayStation. It was amazing! Sure in retrospect they have that aweful ps1 noisy texture look, but it was a HUGE jump in the home console market. And it held on for YEARS! Games were affordable and there were TONS of them. Granted there were an insane amount of terrible games, but the catalog was big enough to really push things and evolve from Tekken 1 to Tekken 3. And I think the THPS franchise single handedly gave years of extra life to the console and likely helped sell THOUSANDS more PS1’s than they would have.
Austin, please make this a regular series

I wouldn’t say that’s true since here in the United States they’re basically tied in sales.
Nope. Not tied in the US. Ps still beating Xbox in and out of US
In the United States the difference is under 1 million units. That’s as I said basically the same.

Who's editing the video here? They are accidentally putting the wrong videogames in the videoclips.
The first edition PS3 40/60GB machines was the best PS as it was the only one to be truly compatible with PS2 & PS1 games
The fact as you say they kept making new consoles until 2006 almost seems impossible.

I personally find the Sony vs Nintendo part funny because I didn't get a PS1 until it was $30 used and I only got it to play a couple SNES games lol.
They won because the Xbox brand under Spender doesn’t appeal to anyone outside of Burger King employees and PC gamers with anger issues.
Xbox's main issue is that they take games that cater SOLELY to the states and assume it will be jist as popular elsewhere.
Japan doesn't care for FPS games like the states, or big battle royales, so naturally they won't sell as good elsewhere in comparison.

$299.99 for the original PlayStation inflation adjusted is $610.00 today. Why do people complain now about a console costing $4-500.00?
The problem is that in some places inflation has far outpaced wage growth for decades now, the US or the UK come to mind, but they’re far from the only places where this has occurred.
Recently I wanted to get a ds console couldn’t figure out which console I wanted. Found a vintage Austin evans 2ds review!!! Least to say made my mind for me lol
PlayStation since '99 and always stayed with them (like their games + all my friends and nearly everyone i know here around Switzerland is on Playstation)
Did he just forget the mega drive?
Don't forget - Sony planning for the long game: sell the hardware at a loss, knowing that the real money is in the software. A case study lesson still taught in B-schools around the world.
More videos like this would be sick!
*PS1 and N64 had like 5 or 6 years advantage in the 90s before Xbox came out. Also back then, rummage/garage sales, flea markets were highly abundant and prices were extremely cheap, so a lot of people who couldn't afford either when new, could find one cheap second hand back then. Nostalgia, games being worth lots of money..etc.. weren't much of a thing back then, so people didn't really think twice to sell their console/games for cheap. Basically, all I'm saying is PS had a huuuuuge start before Microsoft and it greatly helped. The games were good, were super cheap to get, you had rental places that were abundant..etc.. and when Microsoft came around, alot of that was changing, Fast.*
I know they take more effort than short, but I strongly prefer one of these lig videos over a dozen shorts.
The controller alone, set the precedence of the "normal" form factor we use today. Remember they didn't always have the dual analog, they created that. So much so that every console has adopted the dual stick because it just works with the console space to this date!
Final Fantasy VII and Twisted Metal was fun
you named my favs too
17:21 sounded more like a bad impression of the GBA startup than a bad impression of the PS1 startup lol
How playstation won: Kinect
How PlayStation Won: Games Innovation imagination cultivation of skilled developers anticipation and excitement
@@RedPillAlwaysWanna show us your PlayStation Tattoo bruh lol
@@JingMitsuyamaCH ooooooo Someone Mad at Facts..
Facts don't care about your Feelings, Brah. Lol
@@RedPillAlways you man nintendo sorry to correct you. but most "playstation games" are made by other dev's or taken over from nintendo say final fantasy
@@allinadadsday most all games are made by other Developers. So thats not any Flex especially since PlayStation an Nintendo are Publishers.. But out of Nintendo PlayStation Xbox and Sega PlayStation has the Best Developers.. FF is the ONLY game you got to spout that.. It was playable on Nintendo an When PS1 came out Squar Enix made it Playable on PlayStation then directed it more toward PlayStation when Nintendo fell off..
But please tell me more about these "Most Games" You speak of..
Can't wait for the next video
Instead of building a budget gaming pc can you build a high end gaming pc and if you do build it can I have it?
Man, I'm not gonna act like the N64 controller was some kind of next level experience or anything but it's not hard to use and not a bad controller. It's drawback is the same as the 3DS and PSP, only one analog stick. You hold it with your left hand on the leftmost handle for games that use the d-pad, and your left hand on the center handle for games that use the analog stick. Like, it's easy. Once you get past that, it's a six face button controller which for some reason was fine for Sega but bad for Nintendo? Hell, so many games offered control remapping that you could just move the controls to the C-buttons as if they were a PlayStation controller. It's how I played stuff like Mortal Kombat or Tony Hawk back in the day. It also had the rumble pack, so rumble isn't really something Sony was holding over Nintendo's heads. Factor in that like 95% of the PS1 library didn't even properly support the DualShock for analog movement and camera control, and it's not the huge slam dunk people act like it was. If the PS1 launched with dual analog and rumble it would probably have been much better supported and then it would be a different story altogether, but with what we actually got I'm not going to give Sony the W for finally getting the controller right on their *third try* (don't forget the Dual Analog came before the DualShock) and it not being supported by pretty much any game you would want to use it with.
It’s funny how the PS1 was pretty easy to develop for but then fast forward 2 generations and the PS3 was one of the harder video game systems to develop for 😂
PlayStation needs to make a setting where we choose our opening sound of all consoles..
Kudos to the PlayStation! Taking advantage of Nintendo using cartridges, Xbox reducing its exclusives, and Sega going on a downward spiral since Saturn (although I miss the Dreamcast so much!), it made mostly the right moves!
I wish all 3 big names in console gaming to do well. We need competition!
You mean 4... Meta Quest who is 3rd place right now.
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough you mean 2. xbox and ps are same hardware and are coming togheter this year with microsoft releasing games on the ps5. and then you have nintendo wich everyone also owns even if they have a xbox,ps or pc, just because the games from nintendo are so different then what evryone else have and they are great
meta quest isnt a console. just because it can play some games it is still a pc accesoire
@@GreenBlueWalkthroughAt most you could argue it's a portable not a home console lol
@@allinadadsdayIt has exclusive games that it can play natively. How is that much different than a traditional "console"?
are we at 2:46 completely ignoring the Master System?
Imagine being the corporate suit who convinced Nintendo that the move to the Phillips CDI was BETTER than a partnership with the Sony Playstation......
Fun fact sony also went to sega for a partnership
I wish arcades were still next gen gaming, not old shit
I remember when my brother brought home a PlayStation. It was amazing! Sure in retrospect they have that aweful ps1 noisy texture look, but it was a HUGE jump in the home console market. And it held on for YEARS! Games were affordable and there were TONS of them. Granted there were an insane amount of terrible games, but the catalog was big enough to really push things and evolve from Tekken 1 to Tekken 3. And I think the THPS franchise single handedly gave years of extra life to the console and likely helped sell THOUSANDS more PS1’s than they would have.
