Lead time is a huge advantage ...

The NES, Gameboy, Playstation, PS2, and 3DS all launched significantly earlier than some or all of their competition and went on to win their generation by wide margins.

This is a fallcious argument.  The NES had several systems launched prior to or concurrent with it. The same is true of the Gameboy. And the only way the PS2 can be included is if we, again, ignore the Dreamcast. This leaves the Playstation and 3DS as the only generation-winning first movers. The only way around this is to arbitrarily exclude earlier competitors to fit the narrative. I refuse to do so.

Sega Saturn?
