I'm writing a 3000 word report on how companies make money from a given piece of technology, using an example. I've chosen to do Video Game Consoles, comparing the Playstation and the Nintendo 64. My basic hypothesis is that the N64 was a superior console on paper but it lost out since the Playstation had a better library in the long term.

My issue is I'm not sure where to find articles and papers on the subject. Can anyone recommend some reasonably scholarly books or articles on the subject (on the two consoles, or the console market in general) to get me started?

>N64 was a superior console on paper
hardly, considering playstation's disks has vastly superior storage capacity to the N64's cartridges which led to many third party developers abandoning the system, like squaresoft for instance. That's how the PS1 got the better library, because it was a better console. Did you know that ff7 was originally being developed for the n64 but the project was abandoned when they realized they wouldn't be able to have a game that large on a cartridge. Then that ended up becoming THE ps1 game.

The N64 was also extensively delayed iirc.

I can't give you sources because your thesis is objectively wrong.
