Sony Computer Entertainment was famous in the video game industry
in 1995, as the early 1990s were dominated by Nintendo with Sega in
second place. Nintendo had dominated the video game industry since the
introduction of the NES in 1985 and the Nintendo 64 was initially
expected to continue Nintendo's dominance in the video game industry.
Sony focused on a broader base of audiences including adults, and
marketed the PlayStation for newcomers and an older age group but
ignored the younger audience below 15 who are staunch in their loyalty
to Nintendo and Sega.
By the late 1990s, Sony became the undisputed number one video game
manufacturer due to the PlayStation, with a significant lead over
second-place Nintendo while Sega was relegated to a distant third.
The PlayStation's lead in installed base and developer support paved the way for the success of the next-generation PlayStation 2, which overcame an early launch from the Sega Dreamcast and then fended off competition from the Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube.
