Two reasons: First, third parties weren't happy with Nintendo over their control over the console such as limiting the game of games that could be released (which was a response to the Atari crash). They tried to go over to Sega yet they copied Nintendo. Sony was more open to third party development since they lacked their own. This lead to a lot of great titles being PS1 exclusive. The other was Nintendo's output suffered. Mario lost a lot of it's edge, Zelda wouldn't release for years and they failed to create any new exciting IPs.In truth, it's not much different from other consoles. Why did Sony dominate the 8th Gen? Because Nintendo and Microsoft made awful consoles that weren't great for games. Why did Sony struggle in Gen 7?
