The SNES success actually did carry over leading to the N64, the problems with the N64, slightly overrode it though.

Once again.  Had Nintendo made the PS1, and Sony the N64.  The gap in numbers would of been greater.

 

Brand isn't EVERYTHING, but as you yourself stated it is SOMETHING.

 

Here is another issue though.  Which do you think hurt more?  N64's impact on the Gamecube, or Betamax's impact on Blu-ray.

 

I'm guessing most people know that the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube were made by Nintendo... i'm guessing most people do not know that Betamax was made by Sony.

 

I'm not even sure most people know that Sony is the lead IP owner in blu-ray.

Hmmm, I get your point now. However, back when I was on DVDtown, there were many many people who supported HDDVD because BR was made by Sony, who made Betamax,minidisc,etc etc
