What happened between SNES and N64 that caused third parties to turn away? Why was Sony, a newcomer, accepted so readily in Nintendo's place?

CDs cost less than a dollar to manufacture. N64 carts apparently cost aroun $25 to manufacture. It cut horribly into the profit margin.

$25? Last I heard, it was $5 per cartridge as apposed to pennies per disk.

 

Edit: huh, it could have actually been $25 per cartridge.
