As we all know, Nintendo and Sony were working on a SNES add-on, but Nintendo made a deal with Phillips, and that led to the PlayStation.
I hear about how Nintendo betrayed Sony, but why is Nintendo in the wrong? Sony was going to get all the profits for the games. It's not like Sony was completely innocent. I'm tired of people making the birth of the Playstation seem like the big bully Nintendo screwed over the helpless victim Sony, when Sony was the bigger company at the time.
It was like very clashed ideas.
Nintendo still insist with cartridge while Sony want CD as physical media.
N64 with cartridge was really bad idea as it has very limited storage and 3rd party developers choose PS1 for larger storage media in CD.
Nintendo's persitence really got them into trouble during N64 and Gamecube era.
@CastletonSnob I have to agree, it was Sony who wanted to take the larger profits from the PlayStation, practically forcing Nintendo to make the mistake of partnering with Phillips.
However, the CD-i's birth was literally out of spite for Sony (from both Nintendo and Phillips) so maybe people think of that side of things rather than the initial reason for Nintendo to end partnership with Sony.
Your first anything is important; a memory you don't want to forget. That's what makes nostalgia such a fascinating concept. That's why many people enjoy games that have aged well.
