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? |
You're just irate, it pervades in your posts.
The whole affair left a very sour taste in the mouth of Yamauchi, and he basically said "Fuck it". I don't have the source right now, but that's my understanding of it.
The things got delayed so long and they came in contact with the silicon graphics technology and my guess is it used/required cartridges and, well, "voilà".
If it just ended at Sony, I don't think Nintendo would give money away to Phillips like that, it doesn't make sense. And if Nintendo didn't want discs, they wouldn't have contracted Sony to do their Nintendo Playstation in the first place.
Cheers.
