Why do you think they had to redesign the PS1 before releasing it?
Because Sony's R&D before this was intended for a Snes add-on? A drive (maybe with additional technology like the Sega MegaCD, which included CPU, GPU and RAM) does not make a complete system.
just to take out the cartridge port? or not to let Nintendo make money of their own IP´s using said port?
What do you mean? The Sony Playstation had a very different architecture as compared to the Snes. The PSX is not like a Snes with CD Rom instead of a cartidge slot...
