ELI5: How was there such a graphical leap between the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2?

The PS1 had such basic 3D graphics, so the jump to PS2 still seems crazy to me to this day. How did technology change so much in roughly 5 years?

PS 1as release just when chips for 3D graphics chips for computer sated to be used on the consumer market. So they were quite crude and there was a lot of room for improvement. In a situation like that, the changes will be very large but when stuff get better any change will be less noticeable.

You can compare it to aircraft. The first controlled flight was in 1903 and the manage to fly  260 m the first day. At the end of  WWI 15 years later you had a long-range bomber that could fly 2000 km and bomb Berling from the UK. You had fast fighter aircraft and air battles with hundreds of them.

It the last 15 years aircraft have improved but because they are a lot better any improvement make less of a difference.
