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.
