Odd that they were willing to work with Nintendo, then found themselves cast against them. It's a tiny bit like the PlayStation story, except this time the "PlayStation" failed horribly.
|
it is like the original SONY-NINTY thing but there hasn't been anything since then so PS3 failure is another matter
|
I think Mr Khan was referring to the N-Gage as the 'Playstation' as they were both born out of similar circumstances according to the article.
At least, I think

oh i din't think of that
nintendo became SONY and nokia became nintendo....hehe
|
Eh? No, Nintendo stayed Nintendo. The comparison is, Once again, an outside company worked with Nintendo to create something that Nintendo ultimately rejected. This outside company then released this device on their own, to outstanding success in Sony's case and outstanding failure in Nokia's.

you can do it both ways
and first time nintendo was the one which wanted to use SONY's cd ,SONY idn't have much interest.
|
What? No. Nintendo worked with Sony to create a CD attachment for the SNES. Then suddenly they dropped that and went to Philips for what eventually became the CD-i, and Sony took what they had and made the PlayStation.
|
ueah but SONY didn't aprroch ninty but ninty approached SONY.SONY till then had no interest
ninty left as the deal would have given sony half of the rights that ninty had
|
Yeah, Nintendo approached Sony - because Sony had helped develop the format and Nintendo was interested in using it for gaming, and because Sony hardware was already in the SNES. A contract was signed and work began, and it was only later that Nintendo decided the contract wasn't good for them and abandoned it. Sony decided to make it work, and after some legal wrangling, eventually released the PlayStation to great success.
