Didn't the Playstation come around because N64 refused to use CDs?

If Nintendo didn't fall behind the times they wouldn't have lost Final Fantasy most likely. Would have helped it keep third parties and get more.

Probably would have been a monster of a success.

No, Sony worked with Nintendo on a CD add on for the SNES. It didnt work out, so Sony just made the Playstation instead.

Not the whole truth. SEGA of America proposed to work with Sony for Saturn. SOA sent Sony proposed specs. SEGA of Japan hated the idea and wanted to go with their own design. Sony used the specs SOA wanted. The PS1 we got is thanks to SEGA.

As to OP. Fact is this. Even if SEGA didn't go with Sony but made a machine that compared and easy to develop for didn't fuck up with Saturnday marketing and N64 used discs. PS1 NO DOUBT would have gone the way of 3D0 and CDi. PS1 much like PS4 was a success because the competition screwed up so badly.
