Aside from Sega I was going to toss Atari on that list but TIL they are very much still making new hardware, except it’s all targeted for retro gaming. Different focus and not a true competitor to Sony but technically still kicking.
3DO and Atari were never really competitors. They were minor players in the console market that were already considered unsuccessful by the time the PS1 was released.
Sega is one company. Sony has outlasted one competitor, which makes it odd to say “yet another” almost 30 years later.
That’s a nice opinion but Atari and 3DO were selling consoles at the same time PS1 was out. That makes them competitive, no matter how large the margin.
Another?

Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, 3DO, Atari Jaguar just to name a few. Soon will be adding Microsoft’s XBOX to the list.
