I wonder how many in here waited in line back in the time to get the N64, the "true next gen system", instead of buying a PSone or Saturn, which were kind of half a gen behind.


The Playstation was the console Nintendo wanted. Sony created it with the parts they created for Nintendo after Nintendo cut their contract. Third parties putting their faith in Sony's CD based console is the reason for the shift change. powerful multimedia consoles were where the future was headed. Keeping up could've saved Sega the trouble of having to deal with early piracy (outside of the lack of third party).
