I bet Playstation took a big hit once people learned that the combination of a game genie and a demo disk meant that you could bypass the copy protection and with Nero and any burner you could copy 90% of the games.
I have never physically seen a 3DO and even though we were game mad back in those times $800 was an insurmountable amount of money. I bought my first car for around that much.
