I stand by my assessment that PlayStation was the beginning of the decline (at least in the eyes of mainstream - like Phantom said, the PC market isn't really doing that bad). It was the first time people could get a cheap CD-ROM based console with graphical capabilities far surpassing anything available on the PC at that time (3DFX Voodoo appeared only a year, year and a half later and the cards based on it were almost as expensive as the whole PlayStation console, which by that point had quite a library of games). Couple that with Sony's aggressive marketing and you can clearly see the makings of the third console gaming revolution.

You are not quite right about that, I think it was just the marketing, nothing else. Saturn's hardware was far superior to Playstation's but Sega's poor marketing made it disapear quite fast (what a shame).
