well then that would also be the case now since the wii is using dvd's and ps3 is using blu-ray,i think it was mostly there agnorrance that made them lose

Even in the gamecube era nintendo made profit

Depends on how you look at it, I suppose: Nintendo's exclusively a video game company, so losing the lead with the N64 cost them lots of money. On the other hand, they've continued to make very good money.
Sony's only here to push its other stuff, so not being first isn't automatically as disastrous for the bottom line. On the other hand, it has lost billions, and even if the PS3 did single-handedly propel Blu-Ray over HD-DVD (I really doubt it) I'm not completely certain Blu-Ray is the future.
So it seems like Sony did.
I was going to write a huge essay but I needed to get this into the thread first: Atari had two generations of relative dominance and then a huge fall too, don't forget them.

Nah they only had the second generation, first generation didn't include them and the third generation was dominated by the NES. Though they did fuck it up in a way bigger than any of the current console makers could achieve, even bigger than SEGA did.
^yeah they totally screwed things up with E.T

Nintendo. The N64 never really made a comeback while the PS3 has already sort of made one. It really boiled down to their decision to go with cartridges, which just ruined their chances of getting many multi-plat games.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
