The system was simply over-powered for this generation.
The PSX and PS2 were both weaker systems, and affordable compared to the competition. The games on PSX were also half the price of N64 games - and in many cases higher quality titles that would go on to reach classic status - also PSX had 500 games on it while the N64 was having trouble pushing 25-30 after over a year and a half on the market.
Sony also promoted the wrong sort of games. Microsoft and Nintendo did a lot better promoting games people were interested in.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
