The PSX is the tech meant for Nintendo, the tech Nintendo knew was the natural evolution to Nintendo. Thank goodness for Kutaragi getting Sony to join in on the gaming industry or I would've eventually left. For those who are fans of Microsoft they can thank Sony dominance in creating the best tech/multimedia gaming device for Microsoft joining. Thats the reason why Microsoft themselves joined...not for gaming. |
As I said, Nintendo was interested in CD tech, and that would have been their direction had Sony not blocked them. Do you get what I mean?
Sure, Sony brought in some multimedia gimmicks, but who cares about those, not gamers. Those are "good-to-haves", things to draw appeal but are a side-dish, gimmicks.
The PSX is the Super CD Nintendo would have built had Sony not tried to screw them from the backdoor.
Who knows where Nintendo would have been by now had that not happened? But anyways, to blame was Yamauchi himself, who became much too arrogant for his own good. At first his arrogance was his success after he got rid of almost all his father's prospective successors, but when it came to 3rd parties and people with who you needed to play fair, he got a good lesson I think he never forgot, and helped Nintendo swallow a good dose of humble pie.
Now it's Sony's turn. Natural evolution my friend, or what you would call the law of "What goes around comes around".
