Crazy how this one simple change of format for a single system could potentially have so massively changed the course of gaming over the last two decades. It's like the butterfly effect.

That's a little naive, don't you think?  Sure, the wouldn't have been at a disadvantage in terms of media storage.  However, that doesn't do anything to change the fact that Nintendo had the mentality that 3rd party devs/pubs needed them, not that they were in a partnership, which is how Sega and Sony treated it.  Sony still would have snagged plenty of exclusives, which may have still included FF7, and just as many multiplats.

No, I don't think it's naive to say it potentially could have. Obviously we can never know for sure.
