i mean a lot of games were big deals at the time, including games that just made genres. GT1 has the ability to say it refined the racing genre from what was there but has the issue of racing games already existing on the console (e.g., Ridge Racer) and arcades not being completely and utterly dead, though the PS1 was definitely a huge part of it and GT1 can say it was partially responsible for that. it's a case of we would've definitely gotten to this point sooner than later as things were progressing in this path. that's in opposition to new 3D platformers, new 3D adventure games, and survival horror to name a few. none of which had really existed previously in console form (PC did have all this but PC was a more complicated and expensive mess).
