Nah, what hurt their third party relationships were they were monopolistic dicks in the NES and SNES eras. The release of the PS1 is what let them pull away from Nintendo. A lot were ready to make Nintendo hurt because if they weren't the league leader anymore they couldn't force their draconian exclusivity demands and quality demands on the manufacturers.
