I think it helps that they've taken advantage of their competitors' mistakes, like how the Super NES beat the Sega Genesis by not having ridiculous add-ons, the N64 beat the Sega Saturn by having a more attractive game library, the Wii beat the PS3 by being more affordable and more creative, and the Switch has so far beaten the PS5 through innovation and having a more desirable game library. Even the Switch 2, despite it's dramatic price hike, has been outselling the PS5 in certain markets because of similar factors to what the Switch has.
