Why did the PlayStation completely obliterate everything in its path?

[nebrazca88]

I only knew 1 kid who had a Saturn. and they were rich. everyone else had an N64 for the most part and some had PS1s

This makes me laugh for a couple reasons. The main one is because until 1998 or so I only knew one person who had a PS1 and everyone else had a Saturn. I know this is completely against the national trend but it seemed normal and honestly natural at the time.

Conversely in 1989 I was the only one around who had a Master System. It would take until 1991 until I met another kid who had a Master System. Everyone else had NES.
