By "everything" I am talking about all the third party devs that made the Genesis popular. Sony's Playstation became THE 3rd party platform. Publishers could make all their money on Playstation without having to port to anything. If the Playstation never existed the 32bit gen would have looked a lot like the 50/50 split of the 16bit gen.

but weren't most of those 3rd party games also available on Nintendo aswell though?

 

I always thought that Saturn failed because of the hardware compared to the PlayStation.


Look up the fall of Sega and you will find theres line of reasons from  internal instability to stability to the launch of the Saturn to relationships with retailers and third party as to why Sega had issues with the Saturn, scrapped it and eventually fell after the Dreamcast. Hardware was only one of the reasons but for the major part they fixed most of the issues with the Dreamcast outside of the piracy issue.
