The realistic version is that Nintendo and SEGA were still playing the game the same way they did in the early 90s - Nintendo were using proprietary tech and were stingy about letting third parties show them up so they withheld documentation on the N64 so their own games would look better. SEGA was in the process of a corporate equivalent of drilling holes in their own boat (Japan/West leadership chimpouts, not making any killer apps for the hardware in the west, confusing launch, hardware that was frankensteined togehter in the last minute, etc) .

Meanwhile Sony came in with a lot of money, a competetive price point for the PS1, simpler dev kits, and more attractive propositions for third parties who were tired of SEGA and Nintendos retardation

In retrospect, it isn't hard to see why the PS1 dominated when the competition was this retarded
