| MrMarc said: I'm surprised no one said it yet but quite possibly the biggest mistake ever in gaming is Nintendo, Philips and Sony not joining forces in originally developing a CD addon for the SNES. That pretty much directly lead to the birth of the Playstation and the 2 generation asskicking for Nintendo. At the same time though it directly lead to Nintendo's new way of thinking and the state they're in now so in hindsight... who knows heh! |
Actually despite comomon belief that is a misconception,dropping the deals with Sony was a good thing (look at Sega CD)
What really killed Nintendo was using carts in the N64 compared to CD roms(even if more risky then due to piracy)
CD rom was much more attactive for developers
If N64 went with CD rom ..PSone most likely never had anything near the success it had.
