Another Fun fact : Nintendo actually played a major role in helping developing the PS1. |
You can say that.. or you can say that nintendo hired sony to help em make a cd consol.. and sony then skrewed them and made it a sony consol insted..
And iphone combined may had sold more than first ds.. but so has portable computers.. and you can play a lot of games on them.. still it's not a portable gaming consol..

I thought Nintendo and Sony were working together, and then Sony proposed using CD discs for the games but Nintendo didn't want to take the risk so Sony made the PS1 apart from Nintendo because they wouldn't work with them.

Sony was Nintendo audio partner for the SNES and they wanted to work more closely with Sony on a disc based console. But Sony wanted full branding rights to the console which Nintendo eventually said no to. Sony then went on to take the original ideas for the console and made the PS. Nintendo tried to strike up a CD media system with Philips but it fell through. By the time all that happened, Nintendo had no choice but to stick with cartridges. Carts were a last resort, not a first choice.
