Sony

From the start, Sony recognized the critical relevance of tangential spillover effects in the game business and was very savvy in capitalizing on them: Prior to the PlayStation's introduction, Sony founded Sony Computer Entertainment, a professional organization tasked with contributing to the PlayStation's game and system development. Additionally, they signed 240 video game makers to produce a large library of titles on the platform, providing gamers with an abundance of choices from the start.

According to most developers’ opinions, the PlayStation was functionally better and much more appealing than its rivals. Due to the CD-ROM and 3D graphics capabilities, programmers were able to produce much more complex apps than for its competitors' systems, with improved visuals and far greater storage space. After generating six games for Nintendo, Final Fantasy, the most popular video game sagas of all time, switched to PlayStation. The primary reason for this was that their next release, Final Fantasy VII, would not fit on the Nintendo 64's tiny capacity cartridges.

Numerous game reviewers consider this incident as a primary reason for Sony's triumph in the gaming business, referring to Final Fantasy 7 as "the game that launched the PlayStation."
