COnsidering this is the only 4th home console generation for Sony, and they won 2, lost 1, I don't think it's a good enough sample to claim "every generation". Plus, their handheld systems have failed against their rival Nintendo offerings. So out of 5 existing systems, they won 2. Far from "every generation". Heck, they were desperate when they even went as far as to copy Nintendo and make their failed "Move" controller. That was a true low point for Sony.


It's been a 20 year sample now almost (Playstation launched in Japan in 1994). Of those 20 years, Nintendo's had really 3 or 4 years where they've been the dominant console maker, the rest of the time they've been beaten fairly soundly. 

Do we need 50 years to declare that Nintendo has problems competing with Sony home consoles? 

The N64 and GameCube weren't even competetive with the Playstation 1/2, and the Wii U looks like the same exact story.
