For the period the PSOne was actually available it outsold the Game Boy, fairly easily. Gotta give Sony credit, their console formula is simply very mainstream. 

monopolizing games isn't exactly a formula.



Last I checked, the NES was the only console with a lock out chip that basically forced developers to make games for it. 

Sony doesn't force developers to make games for them, they're simply (far) better at selling consoles than Nintendo or Microsoft are. Probably because they have a better understanding of what the console market is (like them or not). 

I'm not talking about forcing. Sony isn't better at selling hardware, it's the 3rd party games (with most of the generations the games being only on ps) that sell hardware. Try imagining how different things would have been if the ps, ps2, ps3 and ps4 exclusive 3rd games were multiplat/ full multiplat.
