Nintendo wanted to make a CD based game player, but they kept getting bad contracts with philips and then with Sony.  Eventually, time ran out, so they just said to hell with it...

Why were they getting bad contracts? Any idea of why a major console maker couldn't get a good deal from potential partners?

What the hell are you talking about, different machine architecture???  You do realize console makers don't collaborate when they release a new console right?  They don't say "oh lets all use the new ATI XXXX graphics card and the 4-core intel XXXX....

You do realize there is PC besides consoles right? PC, with its huge age, dissemination and absence of generational borders, has always set the standard.

They can literally just tack on a bit of programming and all of a sudden its a new product with exclusive content.

Evidence, please.

Now we get to the argumentative stuff.  Raising the roof on graphics doesn't raise anything really.  Its more constrained if anything  Devs are afraid of making anything outside of the norm.

This comment has potential. How do you define the norm?
