But to be fair I also think Sega was their own worst enemy.

More true than you might realize. A lot of the missteps of the Sega CD/32X were from fights between Japan and US divisions. There was a push for the next console to be simply a Genesis/CD/32X melded together in one box.

Sony is also incredibly good at taking advantage of its competitors mistakes.
