Here is a cool clip on the launch of the playstation, and state of things in europe 95. Apparently even back then some people already knew that Sony is full of shit:

Nice clip, that was a great time for gamers. That could easily have been me, playing a demo unit of DKC in the back of WH Smiths or Virgin or HMV and then bam, next week the PlayStation came out and it was an amazing leap in home 3D graphics.

Even back then, nincels were terrified. Sony really was the best thing to happen to games in the 90s.

Nice try fanboy, crash has more advanced technology but in modern times just looks like vomit compared to the beautiful pixel art of the DKC games.

I remember the ad campaigns and I even participated on some of their events. It was huge. However it was really awkward the moment we got to play the games and they took forever to load. Lots of kids like myself didn't have the patience for that so we just left.

This is one comparison,

But in general it's true, consoles do load faster now, they all have hardrives, but games are more complex so loading times are still long.

uh... both crash and dkc's technology advancements involved modelling and precalculating things on SGI workstations
crash's main achievements were the use of SGI machines to precalculate occlusion in levels to maximise polygon count at all times, as well as a novel compression technique for vertex animations (just compare crash's character animations with mario from mario 64, and tell me mario 64 is "advanced")
dkc on the other hand, all the art was done in 3D and prerendered on SGI machines, there's basically no pixel art at all in that game, it's technology is the fact it's all prerendered 3D instead of pixel art
