Sony wanted to make an add-on for the SNES, so they teamed up with Nintendo to make it. However if Nintendo had gone through with it, Sony would get the majority of the profits from games sold on it. Nintendo realised this and secretly teamed up with Philips. So Sony made the Playstation instead.

While it may seem stupid now, I don't think anyone knew at the time what would have happened. If Sony ended up not being successful and Nintendo's secret partnership with Philips were to somehow have been fruitful, the way people treat it would probably be much different. Though in the end, what Nintendo did here isn't honest and it's not easy to sympathize with them. The reason why they did it may be understandeable, but in the end Nintendo probably should have not broken any promises.

Thats is true. They should just have told Sony that the deal was off.
