That really makes no sense to me. Didn't PS1 also have competition in the market? Didn't Nintendo have a console then? Why would all of a sudden people who grew up on a Nintendo brand decide to give preference to an upstart Sony console instead to a proven Nintendo brand? One would guess that an existing and proven brand will be the first one to take advantage of a growing market.
Certainly Sony had to do many things right to attract all those Nintendo fans. You have to consider that the gaming market didn't grow of itself, but that Sony managed to put in an effort to expand the market outside existing userbase.

PS1 didn't have strong competition. Sega was struggling to stay relevant. N64 came later and didn't get great support primarily because carts were expensive and space was limited. Sony throwing money around for support didn't hurt either.
The competition screwed up and helped Playstation thrive. Sony eventually screwed up and allowed Xbox thrive, now we're seeing the opposite. Sometimes getting an edge on competition just happens from the mistakes of others.

sega wasnt struggling, they were lead by retarded monkeys, thats all. here take this sega cd, because the saturn isnt our future...
