"In the early 1990s, advancements in microprocessor technology caused a shift towards real-time 3D polygonal graphic rendering. This aspect was readily incorporated into personal computers and creating a market for graphics cards,"

Reasons:
 * CD-ROMS have nothing to do with microprocessor technology, so cannot be responsible for a major technology shift
 * The first commercial CD-ROM game is [|The Manhole] published in 1989, which is before the 1990s ZodmanPerth (talk) 22:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)


 * But Manhole did not popularize the adaption of CDs as much as Myst and 7th Guest did (both 1990s games). M asem (t) 22:56, 5 July 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅: I was bold and changed it to this: In the early 1990s, advancements in microprocessor technology brought two major technology shifts: the introduction of optical media via CD-ROMs and real-time 3D polygonal graphic rendering. Both aspects were readily incorporated into personal computers and consoles, including Sony's fledgling PlayStation console line, pushing Sega out of the console hardware market while diminishing Nintendo's role. The rise of 3D also created a market for graphics cards used in PCs. Xan747 (talk) 23:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Another try at this: In the early 1990s, advancements in microprocessor technology gave rise to real-time 3D polygonal graphic rendering in game consoles, as well as in PCs by way of graphics cards. Optical media via CD-ROMs began to be incorporated into personal computers and consoles, including Sony's fledgling PlayStation console line, pushing Sega out of the console hardware market while diminishing Nintendo's role.
