Sony has only won console gens because one or more of the competition f***ed up.
>5th gen: Nintendo stuck with cartridges, and the Saturn had a disaster of a launch
>6th gen: Nintendo used mini-DVDs instead of regular size discs
>8th gen: The Wii U flopped, and Xbone had a disastrous reveal that it never really recovered from
Bragging about winning console gens because the competition f***ed up is like bragging about winning a baseball game because everyone on the other team got sick and couldn't show up.

Also, ps1 would've stomped n64 with a disc. Ps2 would've stomped a GameCube with dvds.

"Sony only won because they were better than their competition" is literally all you are saying.

Not necessarily. If the N64 used disks, then--among others--it likely wouldn't have lost Square, Konami, or Capcom, all of whom jumped ship to Playstation because of the opportunities that disk-based media offered them. Plus, Nintendo was an established player in the game market, while Sony was a newcomer, so that could have also factored in them staying.

They may have still released some titles on the Playstation, but we definitely would have seen Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Street Fighter Alpha, and the Mega Man X games on the N64.

Well, not quite.
It's more like the opposing team had been so certain of your team sucking that they had partied heavily the night before the game and thus were too hung over to play competently.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Who cares if the console wins. You win if you're having fun.
