uh, the N64 had custom-built hardware from SGI. SGI's video cards were not only limited to their workstations, but they never even got a boost (financially or technologically) from the hardware in the N64.
I won't even go into the fact that the Playstation's 3D hardware had nothing to do with any 3D card.
the first system to use 3D hardware that actually came from a 3D card was the Dreamcast, as it used NEC's PowerVR2. but even that did nothing for NEC, as PowerVR2 tanked due to the overwhelming competition from Glide and OpenGL (and later, DirectX).
maybe if you had read the wikipedia link correctly, you would have seen that it stated something quite different than you thought.
