You're joking right? Is this another "globally in the US" memes?

It only resonated with customers in America, America isn't the world.

PS1 rightly won its generation, both in terms of furthering the industry forward with CDs, crazy azz goofy games and its library in general which is regarded as top 3 best console libraries with Snes and PS2. N64 has only a select few noteworthy games and came 1.5 years too late in the market.

Even Saturn has a better library and it deserves more sales than the N64. Both Saturn and PS1 games hold up better than N64 games with its blurry, smear imposed bilinear texture filtered games.
I'm not sure how old you were during the N64 time, but your memory is a little off.  While the PS1 and Saturn had many good games, most of them paled considerably to the great games on the N64.  Other than storage capacity, the N64 was superior in every way to either of those.  Sony did so well simply because of their less than ethical marketing of the PlayStation line.  They were able to get into stores that didn't sell video games prior like Circuit City by telling them that they would only be allowed to carry their other products if they sold the PlayStation in their stores.  Sony TV's were still popular back then, so that got them into more stores.  Then there's the fact that Sony hired secret shoppers to go into stores and ask about their competition with video games.  I had a friend that was the store manager at Electronic Boutique and he said that it was well known in the industry that gifts were handed out randomly to sales associates that would steer customers to the PlayStation when they would ask about Sony's competition...I witnessed it more than once.  Then there were the BS rumors that would get started like the government is buying a bunch of PS2's to replace there super computers because the PS2 was more powerful and a lot cheaper. 
Sony came to the market as a bully and bought their way into their market share.  They’ve never really brought anything revolutionary to the industry.  The PS4 is nothing more than an underpowered gaming PC in a plastic case.  Sony has done so well mostly because of hype and ignorant fans....much the same way the USA has the current president that it does.

Nah, both PS1 and Saturn have bigger and better libraries than the N64.

Interesting PS1 stories btw but it sounds like BS, you got a link for those?

Sony came in the market because their Japanese honor forced them! Without Sony this industry would be dead, they expanded the business with the PS1 and PS2 and saved the industry with the PS4 at a time when 3rd parties were in doubt whether consoles were still popular or mobile was the future, especially with the Wii U bomba. The evidence for this is clearly in the lack of games in the first 2 years of this gen. Most of the games must've been greenlit after the positive PS4 reveal and launch.

How can you be so uneducated as to call the PS4 an underpowered gaming PC? What PC functions does it have other than playing games and browsing? For $399 you got your money's worth with it so how can it be underpowered? All the budget went into the best components available for them at the time, like were you expecting they put a $500 gpu in a $400 console?

Also what the hell, ignorant fans? Having the best games console with the best games is being ignorant?
