I wonder if we could similarly track the circumstances which led to the change of leading platforms? That is, what factors led to the Playstation taking over the SNES position, and were there similar circumstances present this gen when the PS3 launched?
While I'd think hubris has something to do with previous market leaders eventual downfall (ie Nintendo sticking to the cartridge format, and Sony believing the PS3 would sell at any price), I wonder if there are more quantifiable or discrete factors that could be picked out fromrummaging through the data.
Interesting stuff.
