I find the early 5th generation to be endlessly fascinating.

The baffling ways Nintendo and Sega screwed up and handed the generation to the new kid is indeed a very interesting story. 

As I said before 1997 was the point of no return. Sonic X-treme was confirmed cancelled, Sega was already talking about the successor to Saturn, N64 games were expensive, PS1 received the killer apps of Final Fantasy VII and Gran Turismo, and even something smaller like the Dual Analog controller which would be transformed into DualShock in 1998 and the rest is history.
