Is Nintendo the Only Company in Gaming that Knows How to Find Blue Oceans?

I think PS1/PS2 mostly grew the market in Europe a ton, so their Blue Ocean would mainly be non-US non-Japan people. :P Though the whole media center concept surely helped growth in US and Japan too, but I don't think the market doubled there.

It was also 18-25 year old males. It's so long ago we may not even remember, but pre-PS1, video games were largely seen as young boy territory. From the PS1 through the PS2, it came to be viewed as young MALE territory. It is an important difference, actually. 

I was in that age group at the time. We were the first gaming generation, and most of us never left the market. So Sony didn't expand into that age group - time just pushed us into it. All Sony did was market to it. Otherwise most would have stuck with Nintendo or Sega.
