The 3DO was the Xbox before the Xbox.

I remember playing road rash on the 3do as a kid at costco. I wanted one so bad. I couldn't understand why my dad wouldnt buy me one. In hindsight $699 us was ludicrous in 1993 if they wanted to sell those things.

The actual cost of living is harder now that it was in the 90's. The middle class is becoming one with the lower class. What was affordable for some might now be affordable for almost none, even "adjusted" for inflation. I've seen things become 600% more expensive over the past three years, while my wage actually decreased.

@mormacfey I don't know how they are calculating inflation, but I can tell you that it is not correct. Let's look at average things that people require. Getting rid of trash. It's up by 600% in my town over the past 3 years. 87 gasoline is up 140% over the past 3 years, and that has been slowly dropping. Same with diesel, it comes down to 150%. Food: I used to fill a carriage for the cost of $100. Now it's about $350. How about the cost of a used vehicle? Cheap ones are no longer $600. They are $3000. My motorcycle tripled in value. It's almost worth the same price it was new. Too bad it's my most reliable vehicle, and I couldn't replace it later. What's going on with rent? We are being squeezed while our wages are going down. My last job literally gave me a demotion, because corona? They provided no excuse, while making the most amount of money they ever have.

My biggest take away from this is that I already knew that the PS1 can push a lot more polygons than the 3DO but what I never thought about was that the resolution of the 3DO was higher which helps a lot to make it's games look prettier even though it lacks polygon power. I could never put my finger on why I thought 3DO games looked so unique like this weird photo-realism to them.

3DO was like a pre dev kit for PS1 developers.

3DO vs. PlayStation console war? Ha, it wasn't even a competition. The real console war was between the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. No one I knew even owned a 3DO, and I'm not surprised, considering the $699 price when it launched. I hadn't even heard of the 3DO back then.

Great review love your content 🎉

Love the GT background music!

I will toss in a small critique of my own in here... the 3DO and PS1 were both capable of doing 640x480 (or the PAL equivalent) interlaced with the same color depth. Though both can also do the same 320x240 (or the PAL equivalent) resolution. I do wish this was more clearly mentioned as just saying 640x480 without mentioning interlacing can make one in the know assume you mean progressive scan. Also while a forgotten controller today there was the Dual Analog Controller released a few months before the original DualShock making it the actual first to feature analog sticks as we know them today (there was also a flight controller but I was just thinking of standard controllers). That is all I do have though critique wise with my knowledge.

Was the same in my town. There was always the one guy with lots of money who made a big show of buying those consoles before anyone else. He had the 3DO and showed it off like crazy. None of us had his deep pockets so we just gawked at it. The guy loved the attention and was rather smug about it. Then the Playstation launched and his 3DO was forgotten. He had to go get a Playstation like everyone else except everyone else had them. He got no bragging out of it.

This battle is like the opening battle of the movie Gladiator

I’m a bit baffled to hear this described as a “console war.” I can’t over-emphasize how little anyone cared. The 3DO, Turbografx, and NeoGeo were just the pages in video game magazines we didn’t bother looking at.

First mover advantage hobbled 3DO. In my town, the people with deep pockets got the 3DO or Neo Geo long before the US Playstation release. So everybody with a decent number of game friends knew someone who bragged about having one of these systems. They would drag the consoles to anime club meetings or other events and everybody got to see these $700 consoles almost nobody could afford. Nice. But for rich people, only. Then the Playstation launched at a much lower cost everybody could actually afford, and soon everyone you knew had a Sony. Most had seen the 3DO first and knew they didn't care about it. The 3DO went from being a system braggarts talked about to being a joke nobody talked about in weeks. The guys who bought one just to flex their wallets got burned.

Judging by comments a LOT of viewers are too young to remember this. They just remember AFER the PS1 had already won. They don’t remember 3DO, Jaguar, PC ENGINE, CD-I. It was chaos back then. There were so many choices all of them expensive with a couple decent games at launch.

I sitlll have a goldstar model. Tripp really dropped the ball with zero game royalties as thats how console makers get their money. Pretty much every game system out has bee sold at a loss until the tech improves and gets cheaper. However in 1993 $699 was a LOT of money to drop on a system. $1462 in 2023 USD (I got my Goldstar model for $50 at a flea market in 2004 even came with some games) and not many were willing to drop that much on a unknown system. I mean the NeoGeo was just as pricey but it had outstanding arcade success 3DO just had Tripp Hawkins and a idea.

@@Nick_Nightingale I fully agree. Heck the PS3 had a rough start in 2006 and it was $599.

The PS1 was an obsession for me as a teenager and I bought one on launch, so the 3DO passed me by apart from hearing about it on TV. A few years later the FZ-10 version was available cheap, so I bought one with a bundle of games and must say it offered something different to the PlayStation and liked playing the games that weren't on it. I eventually collected over 1000 PS1 games and pretty much all the accessories for it (like I said, it was an obsession) but still occasionally returned to the 3DO for a change.

I had a FZ-1 but it was destroyed along with my Saturn when my basement flooded. 😭

The 3DO's price point and weaksauce 3D capabilities (barely outperformed Nintendo's Super FX and Sega's SVP chips in their 16-bit carts) were it's biggest hurdles. It was a rich kid's toy with almost nothing to offer for dedicated gamers. I honestly think Trip Hawkins was short-sighted and in way over his head regarding hardware design/development. The 3DO company's mistakes are remarkably similar to Atari's during the same era.

There was never a war. The 3DO was never competition, it was niche..

I can understand where the 3DO bosses were coming from when it comes to their marketing (though I don’t agree with it). Nintendo had the kids market (and some teens) locked with the NES and SNES, Sega and Atari were targeting teens for the most part. So instead of marketing against them for those demographics they went for the adults. The price point I think was them figuring an adult would pay more for a multimedia console. What they didn’t see is that kids and teens were the largest demographic of perspective customers and adults already had their multimedia machine… computers. In the end the 3DO flopped. Sure it had some good games (SSF Turbo & Road Rash) but between the smaller catalogue, marketing to adults and the higher price tag it’s no wonder to see why the PSX wiped the floor with it.

The price was pretty integral to the whole business strategy the thing was built on. There really wasn't any way it would have been affordable going with that model. Panasonic did buy the brand, so if the sequel system had come out, it probably would have been cheaper since Panasonic would have followed the traditional console business model.

I never thought of it as a rivalry because the 3DO didn't sell very well and the PS1 was hugely successful. But it is interesting to see the innovations they both tried. Maybe the 3DO could have been somewhat of a success if they just reduced the price significantly

I was thinking the same thing. I was around at that time and I never heard of a war between them; not even in the gaming mags did you hear about a war. The 3DO was highly expensive, it cost like maybe 200 dollars more than the ps1. There was a war (competitively) between Sony, Nintendo and Sega. Sony came out with the Playstation, Sega released the Saturn, and Nintendo with their 64 bit system. A few years after that, the Saturn was dying off, about the only ones making games for the Sega Saturn was sega, but the PS1 was going strong with lots of developers developing games for it And then all 3 released their new game systems; Sega beat them to the punch and released the Sega Dreamcast before the others in hopes of getting a larger market share, BUT shoppers avoided the Dreamcast like the plague, and waited patiently for the Playstation 2 to arrive. And so....the Sega Dreamcast died a quick death. And so there were 2 left --- the Nintendo GameCube and the Sony Playstation 2. A few years later, Microsoft saw an opportunity to get into the gaming business, and the rest is history. 3DO? Nope, I had Playstation, my friend had a Nintendo 64, but no one had a 3DO or a Dreamcast 🤷

What about PSX vs NEO GEO! :D The NEO GEO was something secret, forbidden or let's say... something the mob just could not afford. You can happily take this line as an intro... I'd appreciate. And many greetings from Germany, Lady Decade.

Crazy how quickly the 3DO was eclipsed by less expensive, but more powerful hardware. Also, the controller was so stupid and backwards.

Console wars are a necessity for gracious living.

I bought a 3DO in the 90s and absolutely loved it, I refused to get on board with the PS1, I’d play a sort of verbal top trumps with my mates and their PS1s, I did buy a PS1 years and years later just to see what it was like and it is pretty good, I’m still dedicated 3DO but I secretly know the PS1 was better.

Personally, I've always found both the 3DO and especially CD-I to have quite a strong mystique to them simply due to the treasure trove of really weird exclusive software (including not just games, but also educational media) that got released on them. Although I have a fascination with all failed consoles, none can match those 2 consoles in particular.

В 1997 году в россии выбирал что купить. Купил пс1 в итоге. Пиратские игры на дисках были очень дешевые помню, если сравнивать с пиратскими картриджами

I love how people try and say marketing alone is why one system beat another out. The truth is that the Playsation simply was better in a number of ways. Most notably polygonal processing as we moved in to a 3d based state of gameplay. The two things that killed the 3DO were 1) price point and 2) lack of vendor support. I personally think SF2 Turbo and Road Rash are the best ports on my 3DO but that's not enough to make me say it "beats" the PSX. At any rate, it wasn't marketring that made the PSX win, it was the fact that it had a better ecosystem and price point as well as some forward thinking technologies whether in their infancy or not. It's a shame too because Trip's idea of allowing licensing of the technology for manufacturers to make the console was potentially brilliant. Oh, as a side note... that ridiculous daisy chaining of controllers... who ever thought that was a good idea? LOL

When the PS1 was out, I didn't know anything about the 3DO, the main competition was N64, and people were still messing with SNES and Genesis, we knew about the Saturn, but that was kinda like the Neo Geo, we knew it was there, but overlooked them, one cause of the prices and the other for lack of promotion for its games, but 3DO we didn't know it existed.

did 3do ever threaten anyone? how was this a war? next will it be how the jaguar made war on the saturn?

Sorry, just have to point out Resident Evil wasn't a Sony exclusive, as it was also on the Saturn... should've picked another heavy hitter for that example considering there are plenty. Gran Turismo maybe? Considering that was one of the highest selling games of that time period...

Gex on the 3DO was incredible.... until it got ported over PS1 and run at 60 fps

Great video! I personally was in love with both and had both. Still do. You make the case for the 2 systems being closer than in reality, but I dont want to be negative to the 3DO for the sake of glorifying the PSX, but the Playstation just went godmode all over the Pannie. I have a soft spot for both as I was at that perfect age and place when both came out, in high school, and the 2 systems were there for me at a time when I was becoming an adult. I cherish the time I had with them so thanks for making such incredible videos about these systems.

I kept noticing how it was said in the video how “younger gamers” were focused on in advertising for these consoles. Wouldn’t it have been older gamers that were targeted considering most people playing video games back then were pre-teens?

Sony had a major competitive advantage over the other players due to the CD supply chain already being established. This cost reduction lead them to be able to allocate the savings to the developers making their library larger than Nintendo or 3DO or Sega. Sony is likely going to have their golden age in the next 10-20 years due to their library of games as well as their movie connections. Gaming is the new comic book films and they will likely be the driving force due to Twitch and other content interesting channels that exist. It will be interesting to see what happens with the consoles and console wars turn into the streaming wars. I think Nintendo's direction is smart. Sony has the library as well as the core base. But the key value is the data from these games and the teams that win have the best business intelligence to really decipher what gamers want to enjoy a game.

As someone born in 1982... this was not a war... nobody wanted a 3DO. 😂😂😂 I got a PS1 the year it came out and not one person I know of has ever mentioned 3DO outside of a commercial and KZread videos.

Memories

Honestly as soon as PS1 dropped 3DO looked like last generation. I don't think it was a war and if you had to compare it to a fight it would be a 1 punch knock out.

The 3DO couldn't render anything at 640x480. It had 320x240 and 320x480 modes and a very primitive upscaling chip outputted a blurry "interpolated" 640x480 that wasn't much more than a bilinear filter. Virtually all games use the lower 320x240 mode. The PSX certainly wasn't limited to 320x240 either. It has true native 512x240 and 640x240p/480i graphics modes. Many games switch to hi-res mode for title screens or UI and some games run in hi-res such as Crash Bandicoot (512) and Wipeout 3 (640), both of which run rings around the 3DO.

A bit revisionist there and unfair to consoles/gaming. Beyond the realities of consoles outputting to standard definition interlaced TV, sure, over in the PC space, EGA/VGA had featured high-res modes since the late 80s, and 800x600 and 1024x768 SVGA resolutions existed for productivity and CAD work...but gaming was still predominantly 320x200 until the mid 90s. And 1024x768 in the early 90s often meant a headache-inducing 42i CRT refresh with single-digit fps. Sure you had your hi-res 640x480 SVGA outliers by 93-94, particularly CD-ROM titles like The 7th Guest and Myst and Wing Commander 3, but certainly PC gaming in 320x200 was the norm when the 3DO and PSX came out, look at the big 94-95 games like Descent, Doom 1+2, Dark Forces and Command and Conquer. And while WC3 on PC was higher res, the 3DO could eg. boast 16-bit colour rather than 8-bit. Even once Quake hit in 96, 3D accelerators like the Voodoo 1 and Rendition Verite were 640x480 cards, the first 3D cards capable of even 800x600 (3dfx Voodoo 2, NVIDIA RIVA 128) didn't really launch until late 97-early 98. 1024 PC gaming just barely made the tail end of the 90s, not the beginning of it and consoles, even the 3DO but certainly the PSX, punched well above their weight for their price until then.

The thing was $700...there was no war.

Had it not been for the cost, the 3DO might have established itself as the future of gaming, since it released two years before the Playstation (in the West) and had the time to build up a reputation as the new cool innovative system (certainly more innovative and credible than its direct rival, the Jaguar). Such a missed opportunity.

3d0 vs atari jaguar would have been a better comparison as the Panasonic system didn't really compete with the playstation (the saturn and n64 did)

I had both 3DO and PS1, back in the day (actually had 2 PS1's with a link cable, at one point). Enjoyed the 3DO first, but had much gaming fun out of both. But, 3DO was always my favorite. The games ported to PS1, while technically superior (frame rates, usually), had certain key features dropped, which made them far less enjoyable. The unique games to the 3DO stand the test of time, and there's awesome titles and types of content released on 3DO that have never been released again in the same manner. I still own a 3DO (albeit a re-purchase, years later). I don't own a PS1. Greatest consoles of all time (IMHO): 1) PS3 2) 3DO 3) Atari 2600 Honorable mention: PS VITA

3DO was first and had some seriously epic games

a few 3DO games were ported to the PS1 when the PS1 launched.. Too bad Killing Time never made it - that was an interesting FPS , because of the music and the clever use of in-game FMVs..

there wasn't a 3DO PS1 war because 3DO didn't make mass adoption.

It boils down to the fact that the Playstation cost less than half of the 3DO and had better and more diverse games. The marketing strategies had little influence.

Wait until you get to hear the untold story of the sega Uranius and its obscure line of accessories 🍆designed for her necessity of gracious living 😮😬😏

I liked the 3DO for what it was. I liked the PlayStation for what it did.

I mean, was there even any competition between the two? Maybe I was too young to see or understand, but I didn't even know anything about the 3DO until way later down the line. By that time the PS was the reigning champ during its generation. Honestly, the only reason I knew about the 3DO was because of that awesome port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

I think the 3DO predated the PS1 by a bit, so there was some competition. But PS1 started off at a sprint and only went faster as the generation went on. 3DO, on the other hand, started off at a slow jog and got slower and wobblier as time went on.

I owned I'd 3DO... it was kind of a mid-generational console during the transition period between 2-D and 3-D gaming it. It was cool for the time, but then once the PS1 released, it became obsolete real quick. A similar fate met the Dreamcast and the turbo graphics 16 as well, technologically better than the last gen, but technically obsolete in comparison to it's next gen counterparts.
