Again, semantics.

Anyhow, I'd argue MS wasn't a stronger competitor that generation. Sony just made huge mistakes with PS3 like price.

wrong. The PS1 took a huge chunk of the audience the N64 was targeting. Now I do kinda agree partially, the PS1 expanded the gaming market where Nindendo could not (notably Europe), but particullary in Japan the PS1 took the audience Nintendo thought that would have with the N64.

No, N64 and even Saturn didn't target or appeal to the same audiences because they didn't have the same 3rd party support. Hence, Playstation had a massive advantage with 3rd party support.

Playstation didn't expand the gaming audience, 3rd parties did. Sony just road their coattails. Without 3rd party support Playstation is nothing.

The Xbox 360 was a success because of price and it was a console that finally had support at par with Playstation. The Xbox One again has great support and that's why its still achieving solid sales. Meanwhile platforms with abymsal support like Wii U and Vita are struggling.
