Why did they face a competitor alfred, it wasn;t because of Sega, it was because of Nintendo's own deicisons, Sega had a master system in the 8 bit era, but lost horribly to the NES.

Galaxy sold, but did not move consoles, and did not expand the audinece, and sold  far, far less than 2D Mario

Sega's the only one to blame for the Master System failure, at the time they didn't know how to market the console, hell they didn't even know how to make a good cover for a game, with the Genesis they got a better PR department and things changed.

Also you need games like Galaxy, Zelda, Ico, etc. to keep the traditional gamers hook, you can't have a console living only on casual experiences like Wii Fit or Wii Sports or the same franchise running over and over, in fact that was one of the biggest problems with the Wii; also the so called casual market got their future games fullfiled even by other companies (Just Dance is a good example of that) but still is not enought to keep the same system running
