Excellent piece of writing.
It's an interesting generation to study. I'm thinking what your saying about PS1 in Eirope is true at least, I remember we only got the PS1 until halfway through the gen, after the N64 in any case which already launched late here. I think it was the release of Gran Turismo that did it for us. Seeing how big that series is here, that could maybe also have been part of the rapid increase the way Final Fantasy did in the US/JP.
While I personally think the N64 is absolutely genius and the best thing ever, I agree it was the turning point for Nintendo and they made some decisive errors. It's interesting, history and speculating on what could have been!
