Deja Vu but I think the PS1 dominated because of third parties. I already posted in this thread but I feel the need to illustrate my point. The defining games of the PS1, imo:
Final Fantasy VII (Square)
Resident Evil (Capcom)
Metal Gear Solid (Konami)
Tekken (Namco)
Tomb Raider (Eidos)
WipeOut (Prognosis)
I'm trying to think of more from different companies but off the top of my head, that's what I got. But I think we can agree that these are the games, right? I'm sure there's more from like EA or Acclaim or whatever.
My point is that THIRD PARTIES DID NOT ABANDON NINTENDO. All of these companies made at least one game for the N64 as well. The N64 just didn't have the ability to run decent versions of cinematic heavy, symphonic music filled games with its paltry memory.
