      - You left out all of Sega Mark III systems including Sega's first ever, the SG-1000.
      - The Sega Saturn launched at $399.99, MOST definitely not $139.
      $399.99 was THE reason why Sony was even given a chance at a start because as revealed, re confirmed actually as guys like me back in the day knew, earlier this year by the History Channel documentary Game Changers, Sony was originally going to sell the PlayStation at $499.99.
      "$299" is still viewed as one biggest Breaking All Time. Sega leaving the hardware business still is the Top.

      - PlayStation 2 was $299.99, not $199.99. It wasn't $199 until May 2002.
      - Xbox 360 launched with two SKUs, first in business to do so. $299 Core System (no HDD, wired controller, no HDMI cable, ho headset) and $399.
      - PlayStation 4 Pro did NOT have UHD. It will be in PlayStation 5.
      - Nintendo Switch uses ROM carts so Nintendo 64 was not the last to use them.
      If you counted everything, handhelds as Sony WAS in the handheld space, overall Nintendo is the best selling platform holder All Time at 768.79 Million vs. 550 Million at very best from Sony.

It took the Xbox almost 10 years in a very hot console market to overtake a company who put up most of their sales in the 80s and 90s, a time when console ownership was significantly less common than it is today (as evidenced by how much more quickly the sales figures grow in the post-2000 portion of this video). That's not a slight against the Xbox or the 360, though, it's just a result of Microsoft's inability to break into Asian markets in their early days on the console market. If you're not viewed as a competitor to the likes of Sony & Nintendo in the large Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc. gaming markets, then of course you're going to struggle to catch up to those two

    The PS4 Slim has been an amazing console for me since 2017. I love it's trimmed down size, yet it is able to run exactly the same as the original PS4. Sure, it can't run 4K graphics, but it can still play all of the games that I enjoy. Bigger specs doesn't always mean better console. This also reminds me of the Nintendo Switch, which I also have. Sure, it may not have the leading specs in the world, but it delivers a memorable experience just as any top of the line console will. My first console ever was actually the Wii, though, and I still have it today! My little mind was blown when I could play Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Lego Star Wars, you name it! I still have that same exact Wii today.

AT&T also was on the verge of collapse at one point when digital cell service appeared and they waited too long to get on the train; they eventually recovered largely due to iPhone exclusivity when it first came out. Like many leading companies Atari got complacent and rather than spend to innovate they tried to cling to the status quo and they paid for it. Only reason they stuck around as long as they did was because of the Lynx and Jaguar and their effort to take over the handheld market but the affordability and versatility of the Game Boy killed their hopes there as well.

      The Atari 2600 was ubiquitous. It's the system that started the video game craze and so many people had them. Atari's downfall was that they designed and started producing the 7800, but then left it sitting on warehouse shelves until the NES came out and took over. Plus Nintendo actually offered to pay Atari to put their brand on the NES but they refused, a mistake they would regret. Regardless, Atari was a totally different company by then compared to the one Alan Bushnell created in the 70s, and now it's nothing but a brand.

    How cool would it be to have a fully functional wireless PS5 controller, but it looks and feels like a Dreamcast or N64 controller? I’m surprised there isn’t a market for that already, with all the weird avenues console accessories have gone down over the years.

      Flamware The "Nintendo Playstation" aka Super Disc was originally a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony.
      It was supposed to be an add-on to the SNES but unfortunately Nintendo and Sony could not agree to terms involving licensing as Sony would have benefited heavily from software licensing and would be the sole benefactor from music and movie licensing since they would retain control over the Super Disc itself, something Nintendo was uncomfortable with as you could imagine.
      The prototype system was already being produced, along with software to support it before the deal finally collapsed.
      Going forward, Sony would focus on developing a competitor system for the next generation of consoles known as the Playstation (heavily inspired by the Super Disc).
      So at the end of the day, Nintendo essentially helped create the prototype of their biggest competitor.
