Interesting, could swear I read a completely different story some years ago. Sony wanted far more than 50% of game revenue, so Nintendo backed out. Sony also tried to develop a CD ROM system with Sega after the a Nintendo deal fell through. No mention of that here. A theory suggests Sony never intended to partner with anyone, but pretended so they could steal industry secrets from both companies. Making Nintendo an impossible offer forced Nintendo to back out, and then Sony could claim to be the victim.
