Hypothetically, what if Sony dominates?

It will be boring and bad for the industry, remember back in the nineties, Nintendo had 85% of the gaming market......yeah, let that sink in.

Were you around in the 90s? Nintendo never dominated the console market in the 90s,  first half was a close race between SNES and Megadrive, the 5th gen was dominated by the PS1 which sold 3x as much as N64.

Dude, Nintendo own 85% of the market in the early 90's, and I'm not bragging about their success, I was explaining why it could be bad for a company to fully dominated a market. Nintendo was brutal how to control the market and made it impossible for other electronic companies to reach Nintendo success level. Only one that came fully close was Sega. 

Thanks to Nintendo's formal President, Hiroshi Yamauchi, (god bless his soul), he was part of the reason why the Playstation became what it is today. I want all three companies (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft) and the industry as a whole to do well, none of this one domination childish bullsh*t.

Are you delusional or just trying to stay ignorant to the facts? Do you know the marketshare of Genesis vs SNES?

Nintendo	Super Nintendo Entertainment System	1990	49.10 million[3][10][11]
Atari	Atari 2600	1977	40 million[12]
Sega	Genesis (Mega Drive)	1988	29-35 million[cn 1]

Does that look 85 percent to you? If so, you suck at maths and go back to school. When PlayStation came out in the 2nd half of the 90s Sony dominated the market, PS1 sold 3x as much as n64 and 10x as much as Saturn. Nintendo never dominated any market before the Wii and they're about to lose that title to the PS3.

To be fair, I think he might of meant right at the start of the 90's, like, before the Mega Drive/Genesis truly found it's feet with Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and it hadn't been released in PAL terrortories where Sega actually had the edge in market share.

 

There's no disputing just how much of a stronghold Nintendo had prior to that with the NES however, although I don't see that happening with the PS4, even during the PS2 days, the original Xbox still had significant 3rd party support, and even a solid amount of 3rd party exclusives, the NES's competitiors didn't have that in any way shape or form in Japan and America, it wasn't until the main figureheads in the RPG genre/Arcade industry boycotted the N64 that Nintendo ran into a brick wall.
