In retrospect, and the reason playstation 1 and 2 dominated, nintendos biggest mistake was using cat ridge instead of CD format. They lost major third party support and never recovered it back since SNES. They keep on mistakenly say competing with power got them nowhere, but competing without third party support is the actual downfall. When is the last time the strongest spec'd console sold the most? SNES (ninty console with best third party support, and not just casual gimmicky drop off sales). The SNES momentum carried over to N64 early days where they began by outselling PS. Software droughts didn't help though
