If nintendo or sega had done what sony did in the ps1 era we would consider it a genius move. 

Sony basically did in the PS1 era what Sega did in the Genesis era... and guess who usually gets "genius" credit between them?

Sony basically brought console gaming to Europe. Sega and nintendo couldn't do that. 

Gaming was already widespread in Europe, PlayStation just centralized it around one platform rather than a bunch of various computer formats.  It's a bit like what Famicom did in Japan.

MegaDrive was pretty big in the UK though.

It was big on PC, but playstation made it mainstream
