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

Phillips got ot use them for a few games.
Sony woould have had them forever.
FOR-EV-ER.
They benefited in that they kept control of their own IPs.
|
they still would have had control of their IPs, its just that Sony could also use them
|
Sony wrote up a contract saying that as long as Nintendo were using CD tech they'd have full run of the console and control and ownership of everything Nintendo has on their platform as well as the royalties, if you can't see for yourself that no platform holder in history or future would take that deal I'd advise you stay away from business ventures as that's a disastrous deal to sign, they made the right choice dumping the deal tbh.
