The history of game consoles in advertising. Part 2
In the last part of the history of consoles, we stopped at the Super Nintendo. Now let's talk about the fifth generation. Be patient, just a few consoles - and move on to Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64!
In 1993, 3DO was released, which is produced by Panasonic, Sanyo, Creative and Goldstar. Games for consoles were sold on disks.

The cost of the console - $ 699.95 at the time of release, that is, it was more expensive than all the other consoles of this generation, including the best-selling PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn. Let out a prefix all three years.
It was at 3DO that The Need For Speed game first appeared.
The characteristics of the Amiga C32 that was released in the same year were similar to those of the Amiga 1200 computer. The console could be upgraded to a full-fledged computer by adding a keyboard, mouse and hard drive.
Just a month after the release of the console, Commodore announced the completion of its sales and warranty service. And in the United States, the prefix was not sold at all, because the company had delayed payments for using the Cad Track patent.
The world's first 32-bit console.

Advertising for the German market.
The first versions of Worms were available only for the Amiga CD32.
Released in 1993, the Atari Jaguar prefix was not able to fight the most popular monsters of the fifth generation. First, the carrier - again the cartridge, not very convenient thing. Secondly, the joystick is of very dubious convenience. Third, the game is of poor quality.
Sold a total of about 500,000 consoles.
In this selection of commercials you can check out the gameplay, including Doom.
Here the topic of mathematics is revealed: it explains why the 64-bit Jaguar is better than other consoles.
Casio's 32-bit pre-school and primary school girls console suddenly let you print stickers — you could draw your own manga! And this thing worked on the cartridges. One of the oddities is the lack of a port for the second joystick, that is, it was a kind of forever alone prefix. But there was a port for a mouse, with the help of which it was possible to do something there in two games. She was born in 1995 and very soon left this world.
A total of ten games were released for this miracle set-top box, including a life simulator, a date simulator, and software for making astrological predictions. Kawaii!
Now the most delicious! In November 1994, Sega Saturn was launched on the market. It is this prefix - the first of the three consoles of the fifth generation, who waged a ruthless struggle for the consumer, while throwing from the market all the above-mentioned consoles.
Already on the day of launch in Japan sold 170 thousand consoles. In the entire history, Atari Jaguar sold only 500 thousand - the difference is quite noticeable.

The most popular game for Sega Saturn is Virtua Fighter 2. Over two million copies have been sold.

Who played - he will understand:
Sony a month after the release of the Sega Saturn launches the first PlayStation on the market. The prefix immediately showed everyone where the crayfish hibernate - she broke into the market, which was shared between Nintendo and Sega, and immediately bit off his huge piece. Think about it: 100 million consoles were sold in 11 years of production of the console. And it was the best-selling console even before it was replaced by the PlayStation 2 in this post. Bonus: You could use the PlayStation as an audio and video CD player! What I did.
This video was awarded the Clio award - an annual festival of television and radio advertising in New York.
In 2000, a miniature version of the console - PSone. That was exactly what my mom bought me. =) A display has been released for this console. And the adapter for the car cigarette lighter.
In the Moscow metro they tried to put up this poster from Russian designers. It was difficult, because it was always ripped off and dragged to her home by lovers of the beautiful.
The second poster from the same series.
One of the most popular PlayStation games is Resident Evil 2. Awesome toy. I love her as much as Silent Hill.
PlayStation Official magazine exists separately from Sony. This is one of the covers of 1998. There are just two beautiful toys: Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot. By the way, for 2007, 7918 games and other software for PlayStation were released.
And who was cut into this thing?
The third whale of the fifth-generation cantilever warfare - Nintendo 64 - came out later than all, in 1996. Unlike the PlayStation and Sega Saturn, it was still on the cartridges.
The most popular game for Nintendo 64 was Super Mario 64. It was this game that was first released for the console. In general, developers who would like to make games on cartridges, there are extremely few. Discs in production were cheaper and had more capacity.
However, by 1998, the console ranked second after Sony PlayStation in sales, and by the end of next year, Nintendo had released a drive for the console, so that it was possible to play magnetic-optical disks.
Did you have one of these consoles? What did you play? Has it survived to this day?
