Sony were partnering with Nintendo to make the PlayStation. At CES Sony announced that they were making the PlayStation with Nintendo. It was meant to be a add on for the SNES to accept CD'S and Sony was going to make a all in one console, but Sony would get profits from it. But Nintendo was talking to Philips behind Sony's back and after Sony talked at CES, Nintendo back stabbed Sony and announced thy aren't working with Sony hours later.

Ken kutaragi, the guy behind the PS1, went to Norio Ohga and told him about it. He told him that Sony should make their own console, and Norio Ohga said "DO IT"

They then created the PSX, but scraped it and waited for the competition. They then released the PS1.

 

 

And that affects his statement how? The point is, PS1 had optical media, N64 didn't and, therefore, third parties went to PS1. Never mind why they didn't have it. Had Nintendo put a CD drive in the N64 - through a successful (see CDi, xD) deal with Philips, perhaps - there's a pretty good chance that they would've crushed Sony because of their established brand name and third party support.

P.S. I'm pretty sure that that story is common knowledge and that the guy you quoted already knew all about it.
