I actually find it kind of sad that people didn’t know this, but I’m a little too knowledgable on the subject…
Also, Sony didn’t come into the fray until the 5th generation. This is the first generation of console gaming.
Nintendo is still the most experienced major console maker- all of the other major companies that were making consoles at the same time as or before Nintendo no longer make consoles.
