When that fell through Ken Kutaragi convinced Sony to let him build a game system. I think if Nintendo had gone through with the Sony SNES CD add-on we would not have seen a 32-bit Playstation. We may have gotten a CD N64, but I think the Sega Saturn would have been a much bigger success and the Dreamcast would not have been Sega's last console. Sony would probably have jumped into the race in the sixth or current gen, but who knows if they would have been as successful now as they were then. The Playstation was so successful because the mistakes of both Sega and Nintendo left a big hole that Sony filled. It's and interesting topic to ponder. |
no..
If nintendo had taken up that offer Sony would have owned all of their franchises.. and basically eventually had bought out nintendo.. once they realized that the CD N64 was a huge success(more than likely would have been)
Also.. it's possible that sony may have never entered the gaming world.. since sony's boss who was pushed by ken kutagari gave it the okay to try a game console when he felt betrayed by nintendo..
