Even the Commodore Amiga CD32, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_CD32 ) which was the worlds FIRST 32bit CD-ROM based game console was released ahead of the Sony Playstation, as the CD32 was announced in July of 1993 and released in September of 1993, a full 1 year and 3 months ahead of the Sony Playstation.   The CD32 was most definitely a "Game Console".


Usually helps if your correction has correct information.  The CD32, despite what the box says, was not "the world's first 32-bit cd games console". :lol:


Then which was?  The 3DO, with a specialized 32-bit RISC CPU was released roughly the same time as the CD-32 (same month, September 1993.)  Atari Jaguar also had a custom 32-bit RISC processor as well as 64-bit video cores, delivered in November 1993.  The 32-bit Sega Saturn was 1995.

What's missing?

FM Towns Marty:

The FM Towns Marty was a video game console released in 1991 by Fujitsu, exclusively for the Japanese market.


If that truly had a 386DX, then that would be a 32-bit CD-ROM console prior to all the others listed.  But exclusively in the Japanese market?  Please, like that matters  :-D
