what makes you say that?

 

why do you think Nintendo went with cartridges when the others chose discs?

I just get the sense that you're irate. But anyways, the history of video games tells me that. Nintendo wanted a disc-based system, and they only changed their minds after the Sony affair. Otherwise, why do you think they invested in the Nintendo Playstation, the Phillips CD-based SNES add-on that never happened?

From wikipedia (on Phillips CD-i):

"Nintendo and Philips had established an agreement to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System due to licensing disagreements with Nintendo's previous partner Sony (an agreement that produced a prototype console called the Play Station). While Philips and Nintendo never released such a CD-ROM add-on, Philips was still contractually allowed to continue using Nintendo characters."

In another source I also read that that was something Nintendo actively wanted to use for its system. Things changed due to Sony and its PS1.

what would i be irate about?

 

????

 

Nintendo and Sony were supposed to team up but didn't Nintendo pull out when they originally wanted to use the  CD-ROM?

 

what made them go with cartridges when they originally wanted to go with the CD-ROM like the others?
