I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan in fact I only like some of the IP's but I'm forever grateful to them. If it was not for them there would be no PlayStation as we know it.

Im that generation. But I was also a PC gamer. We were aware of 3d graphics long long before they hit
the home console. The playstation made it mainstream but the arcades did it first and everyone who was seriously aware of gaming knew about virtua fighter.

I will say also that this is going to sound weird but we had seen plenty of 3d graphics elsewhere, in cutscenes, movies, effects that mimick 3d like isometric graphics, or games like Ballz, Mode 7 effects and the like. So it wasnt like 3d came out of nowhere (it isnt like VR where you dont know it until you try it). I was gaming on PC and had 3d games long before the playstation released. Not all were quite like what you saw later on playstation but if youre talking about first person shooters and stuff like that we had those, and plenty of isometric 3d games that mimicked the look...

This is going to sound weird too ....but even the Atari had 3d games really. As did other consoles by playing graphical
tricks... .3d dungeons in Phantasy Star for example. At the time the average gamer was not technical so the "purity" of how "Real time" the graphics were wasnt really a concern. The Playstation, what it did was introduce cheap real time 3d games on an easy to develop for platform to the general public under a KNOWN AND TRUSTED BRAND as Sony was the most prestigious electronics company for the average person as nearly nobody knew who Marantz or Nakamichi was outside the audio world, and they werent making games systems, Sony meant graphics sony meant TV, so people loved that.

Thats why I want them. Lower weight is a big plus for VR.
