And like they *doubled down* in response to the PSX, like the N64 was them saying "No, fuck you, we're not doing CD-ROMs at all, cartridges are still fine", and the GameCube was them going "Okay if we have to use discs we're going to use annoying special little ones"

I remember people arguing SO HARD that cartridges were clearly the best and CD-ROM would never catch on because of loading times. And arguing that CD-ROM was clearly the future because storage would scale upwards far better than what carts could manage. Guess both were wrong.

I dunno. I don't think Nintendo is doing that badly nowadays. (I thought the Switch was a big hit. Plus they still they still kill on 1st party releases.)
