Sure, Sony “outlived” two minor competitors that were already failing when the PS1 released.
Much like how I outlived actor Carey Grant, who was 80 years old when I was born. That’s definitely how I’d phrase that.

But seriously, the way your original comment was phrased makes it sound like Sony is some kind of console war juggernaut, outlasting its many competitors over decades. The reality is that Sega folded to Sony and Nintendo back in the early aughts, and then it was 25 stable years of having three big console makers, and that’s it.
