I think your analysis is colored by your opinions on the PS1.  I doubt most would agree with your assessment that the only game it had of worth was Wipeout.  I guess the only way to get a decent handle on this would be to get a record of when these consoles were hacked and what their sales were compared to the competition at that point.  I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of those consoles were already winning their respective generations before being hacked, and that's actually why they were the most likely to get hacked, because of the popularity.  But until we have some records of when these hacks occurred it's really all just conjecture.  

I was there :)

And believe me when i say.. i liked the ps1 a lot.. And i had all the (good) games for it) Wipeout, ridgeracer.. metal slut, MK and also got crash (i liked that very much) but compared to N64 and Saturn not that much.. and as i say.. the turning point.. not only saleswise, but also good "presswise" was the chip.

But i don't want to go in a big argue on piracy.. just staing that there are a lot of "gamechangers" waiting to happen yet. (The point was that it's to early to judge who will win this gen)

You don't think pirates has the effect.. it's ok..

And sorry for the spelling (i'm danish) hope you get the point :)

You were there (me too btw) but you are a single person using the opinions of your friends as a standard for the opinions and motivations of the entire world.  You have to see how that makes absolutely no sense from a statistics standpoint if you have any handle on how math works.  Hell I might take your word for how the press for the PS1 changed in your region, and maybe hacking was the reason that it won where you were, but I can't take that as evidence for hacking being the reason the PS1 won globally.
