Square wanted to make GBC and GBA games. The bad blood between them and Nintendo over the defection to PS1 was what held things up. You'll notice Nintendo always kept on good terms with Enix.
Sony secured lots of exclusivity, but a big part of that later on was the strength of it's platform, which was driven almost entirely by 3rd parties in the first place. Your examples are odd though, given RE1 and Tomb Raider were both actually on Saturn (RE1 was originally PS1 exclusive too, yet still got a Saturn port), and Ridge Racer was originally announced for it too. :/

So does that mean Nintendo was the problem? I think it does and that makes my point.
My examples are fine, they are supposed to highlight that Sony would snatch what they could and what seemed to be important.

Enix made GBC and GBA games just fine though. So why would Nintendo be the problem?
If PS1 had struggled, then Saturn would've gotten Ridge Racer though. And Saturn got Resident Evil anyway. These examples aren't exactly highlighting how PS1 would've avoided a Saturn like 3rd party landscape if N64 had gone CD-ROM...
