Theres zero difference when all brands changed to disc based formats. It's called evolution, which is why Nintendo was left behind by the third parties when Sony entered. Natural transition. |
Nintendo wanted to get CDs, it's Sony that blocked them. Then came Silicon Graphics and history is the way we know it.
Had Sony not pulled a fastball on Nintendo, things would have been much different today. It does make me kind of sad that Nintendo gets reduced to making fucking NintendoLand and shit like that, but hey "THANKS SONY! THANKS A CRAPTON".
That's how I feel about that in case you were curious.
Oh, and while we're there, we can thank Sony and its Natural transition to boot SEGA out of the HW market, even if they made way superior games to Sony in the PSX/PS2 era. Sony is an anomaly of pure videogaming and console manufacturing, a fluke of nature. They only made it in thanks to Nintendo's mistakes and some sleezy business practices. When it came to gaming, they virtually sucked. By the time the PS2 was in its later years, we finally got a few games from Sony that were good, but that's it. Everything else that Sony is so proud of, you can say thanks to 3rd parties which Nintendo helped build.
