Xbox Vs PlayStation: Ranking EVERY Launch Line-Up From Worst To Best

9. PlayStation 1

Launch Date: 1995

Notable Games: Rayman, Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden

The original PlayStation was an earth-shifting moment in console gaming.

As Sega and Nintendo clung to primitive cartridge tech, Sony provided the CD format that third-party studios had been clamoring for. The console led to such landmark titles as Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, and Final Fantasy VII.

The launch line-up though? Yeah.... classic is not really the word that comes to mind.

You had a handful of terrible fighters (Zero Divide, Street Fighter: The Movie), average space shooters (Total Eclipse Turbo, Raiden Project), and passable sports titles (Power Serve 3D Tennis, ESPN Extreme Games).

Highlights are strictly Ridge Racer and Rayman, but while both started iconic franchises, the original entries have been primarily surpassed by better installments, plus have dated heavily.

Sure, the saucy tech truly felt next-gen for the time (and helped gamers overlook the flaws), but at present, it's far from a highlight reel.
