NGP could outperform 3DS if price, innovation and games are right

Carts were the straw that broke the camel's back.  Sure, there were other issues (there always are) but the financial roadblocks that mask-ROM brought are specifically what kept N64 from inheriting SFC's development priority.  A CD-ROM based N64 would've gotten FFVII, DQVII and probably about every major 3rd party game, no question.

If not for that, the support and software lineup you saw on PS1 would've looked a lot like the support and software lineup you saw for Saturn.  Only with a weaker 1st party side of things.

Why did Squaresoft stop making games altogether for Nintendo platforms for about eight years? Nintendo's third party relationships were breaking left and right at that time, cartridges or not.

Sony secured exclusivity for plenty of games during that era. Right from the get go, the PS1 had exclusive third party games like Ridge Racer and Tekken. Later on Tomb Raider and Resident Evil, both originally multiplatform titles. Knowing that it's hard to believe that the PS1 would have had a lineup like the Saturn.

Tomb Raider and Resident Evil all launched on the Saturn...
