Nintendo won last gen, but mostly because Microsoft stood in Sony's way. Sony has what Microsoft and Nintendo both lack which is why they will always perform well. Its why they appeal to a great audience at large. They increased the overall market the second they joined the gaming industry and continued to have it continue in its growth over the PS2 era.

The increase was due to their ability to reach into markets (countries) that Nintendo and Sega couldn't. Don't oversell it.

Come on man thats just BS. I dunno if you have something against sony, and your posts could lead one to think so.... but you are underselling it. What PS1 did to increase the size of the market was by making "maturing" the industry. It made gaming "cool" so to speak and primarily sold to an older and more mature audience. The PS2 to carried that along and added the bonus of having the cheapest DVD player at the time. 

How can you possibly tag the success of a console over the course of a 5-6yr generation simply on availability in countries??????
