I think Nintendo and Sega, and perhaps similar gaming-focused companies should make consoles.

You honestly think we would be better if Sony and Microsoft never entered the gaming industry? So in the 5th gen, without the PS1, games would still be using cartridges and would be severely limited - no MGS and FFVII-IX, to name a few. We would not see a new AAA 1st party new IP in 20 years, Nintendo and Sega would both keep using the same ips forever - like Nintendo already does anyway.

I cannot possibly understand why you think that would be better. Also, the Wii U from the "gaming-focused" Nintendo has less scheduled releases than PS4 and One.

Sony did not contribute CD's to gaming. In fact, Saturn did it first.

Sony did not contribute the third party games on PS1 to gaming. Third parties did. And they would have put those games on other platforms if there was no PS1. 

Yes, gaming would be much better off without them. You fail to see, that the end goal of companies like MS and Sony is the Xbone. Sony might have opted out of that path now to get a tactical lead over MS, but make no mistake. What Sony contributed to gaming, is the industry mindset and path, that will ultimately lead to consoles being Xbones.

EDIT: Sega made new first party IP all the time. Stop your revisionism.

You're wrong here. If anything, Steam and the inherent functionalities of the internet and its always increasing prevalence in current society is responsible for what the XBO's original vision was. 

But I know you still blame Sony for Sega's demise, so there's really no point in arguing this with you.
