@Leynos: You're about the Saturn launch, Sega's failings had nothing to do with the hardware, but their bad business decisions - just like Nintendo's. You could say N64 launch was even worse than Saturn's, as N64 launched two years late.
Saturn did use polygons, the difference between it and PS and N64 is, that Saturn made polygons with 4 lines instead of 3.
@Soundwave: Yes, Playstation wasn't a known brand in mid-90's, but Sony managed to make contracts with 3rd parties, that weren't possible with Sega and Nintendo.
If N64 had been out a year earlier, you'd seen the 1997-1998 Playstation 3rd party hits on N64 in 1996-1997. Apparently N64 was even delayed for Miyamoto to finish Super Mario 64, that likely pissed off the 3rd parties - they wanted to earn money, but Nintendo did not want to launch the system, that caused The 3rd parties potential losses.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
