There are still major differences, though.
3DO was never doing that well in the first place. The system was their very first attempt at anything, so it's not like the failure forced them down from their place as a legend - it's their failure that made them a legend.
The Atari Jaguar was to Atari what the Dreamcast was to SEGA - their failure after a mess of other failures. The Jaguar wasn't what ruined Atari; it was their whole mess of mistakes before the Jaguar. It's just that the Jaguar finally finished 'em off.
Philips never was big on videogames anyhow, and yes, they're in business still. They're huge in electronics. In fact, they're one of the biggest electronics companies in the world, and they're on the Blu-Ray Disc Association as a board member, with an equal stake in Blu-Ray as Sony.
