Something misssing in your post.  SEGA of America Tom Kalinskie proposed to Sony they work together on a console and sent them a spec sheet. SEGA of Japan hated the idea. Talks ended. Sony used the specs Tom proposed for PS1. Sega of Japan made the Saturn..a system that technically was a beast but insanely hard to program for. Nintendo also went cartridges with N64. If N64 used CD's who knows where PS1 would be.

 I'm thinking the people in Sony's PS R&D already had a clear vision for what they wanted and that Tom Kalinski and a spec sheet he jotted out had nothing to do with the PSX specs. I have certainly never heard that prior to your post, and can't find anything to verify it. Can you point me towards a source? Also, another of the issues with the Saturn hardware was that it was a 2D, sprite graphics beast. It's 3D polygonal capabilities weren't as good as the PS1, which was just as big of an issue as it's complicated architecture. Aside from the inexplicably poor port of SOTN, it was always better at 2D. No doubt.

Tom did in a interview online a few years back. Can't remember if it was SEGA Nerds or something else. He's done a few long interviews over the past few years on Youtube so you can look for it there.
