i did not know about the bolded part. oh well, i know when im wrong. but still, nintendo shouldnt have made the contract in the first place. Didnt they read the contract at all? Its like ''hey how about  guys make some CD drives for our next consoles?''  ''OK, but you have to sign this contract here''   ''Ok, fine''  *after the CD drive is done*   ''You know what, screw you, we dont need your CD drive, we actually read the contract and we dont accept it. Bye''   Nintendo should actually read the contract before screwing Sony over. Thats why Sony got pissed and made their own console. If NIntendo said NO in the first place, Sony probably wouldnt care

 

Your other bolded part doesnt make any sense, if nintendo didnt ditch sony they wouldnt have made PS1, their original console. so nintendo wouldnt have to make their games for sony consoles.

 

And i know that for certain because i used some logic. How can a system that sold 22 million consoles and had averige/poor software sales and reached 99$ price faster than any other system out there make more money than the system who sold 145+ million consoles and sold over 2 billion software (and its still selling today)??? And FYI, Nintendo also sold GameCube at lost on its first year.

You just don't give up, do you?  You will come up with anything you can to disparage Nintendo.

1. Sony and Nintendo had worked together for many years.  Sony provided the sound processor for the SNES and published some software.  But they wanted to be a biger player in the industry and felt they could expand their partnership with Nintendo.  Nintendo wanted Sony to provide a CD drive and discs for their upcoming console after the SNES.  Sony agreed but when Nintendo saw the contract details, they rejected it for the reason below.

2. The terms of the contract would have relagated Nintendo to basically a 1st party development studio under Sony. 

3. The Dreamcast reached $99 far faster than the GC did.  So did several other consoles.  Software sales were fine with a very high attach ratio only surpassed by the PS2 (attach ratio was higher than PS1).  And their only loss on GC hardware was $9 for the first quarter.  Not the full fiscal year.
