The SNES CD would have flopped just like the Sega CD did. People have never shown any willingness to buy expensive add ons. And that was in the days when the primary audience for video games was children. Very few parents were willing to shell out another $200 for a CD-ROM add on when most of them were bitching about the cost of the core hardware. I doubt it would have forestalled the PS1 either. The only thing Nintendo would have gotten was losses and another embarrassment like the Virtual Boy. Nintendo made the right choice pulling the plug there.
Nintendo's mistake was using cartridges for the N64 and losing support from Square and Enix.
