They weren't the juggernauts they are now. Windows was only starting to become popular (Windows 98 was when the rollout started) and the US economy swallowed the world whole during the Clinton years, so American companies started expanding like crazy until the Great Recession. When the Xbox appeared, they weren't that important, but with the 360 they started to pressure Sony into severing what they didn't profit from and created competition to help lower game prices.

They didn't really change anything. I just wanted to clarify they weren't as big back then...

Yes MS wasn't as big and Sony wasn't as small. But why are we discussing this? And that have nothing to do with how well they done on 7th or 8th gen, because MS finances have become even better and Sony about the same, but the outcome is completely different.

Because I wanted to point out companies grow with their economies? 

Owww I see, no problem. And yes when economy in a country thrives companies have opportunity to grow, although some times they grow even more when the country is facing an adverse situation.

How they grown "when the country is facing an adverse situation" ?, you mean more purchases, and cheaper manufacture of products, because of weak coin ?.
