so you think Microsoft will be able to make natal a success even after having nintendo, the gaming innovator, turn down the tech years before mircosoft even knew about it?

 

Nintendo turned down discs... how did that end again?

They didn't exactly turn down discs they had Sony develop a disc format for them with their disc based SNES the Playstation :P then Sony wanted all the royalties of the format every time a game was sold, Nintendo became wary of their deal with Sony and dropped them with an incomplete system, then proceeded to go back to a format they're experienced with, carts.

How did that end? Sony won that gen, Nintendo had IBM set up their format for the GC, and then updated it for the Wii...
