It wasn't that they didn't allow Sony to use them but rather that simply just wasn't part of the deal. Philips was offering a disc drive for Nintendo to use at a low cost but they'd get to license a few Nintendo IP's for their own console - the CD-i.

See, Philips already had their own console out. Sony didn't. So it wouldn't make sense for Sony to want to license Nintendo IP's at the time because they didn't have a console already out....and worse still is that they would eventually have rights to ALL Nintendo IP's anyway as part of the contract they wrote.

pretty dumb move by nintenodo... costed them losing 2 gens straight and they didnt benifit at all. They should have let Sony use their IPs, we all know Sony>>>>>>>>>>>Philips in gaming

Pretty dumb?  So you'd just hand over youre entire business like that?

Nintendo still made more money with the N64 and GC than Sony did with the PS and PS2.
