What the actual fuck?

It shows just how much of a power trip Nintendo was on back in the mid-90's.   Nintendo basically created the Playstation platform due to their own arrogant mishandling of their contract with Sony.  I just don't get how you kill your golden goose like this, Nintendo could have so easily dominated the 5th generation if they just played their cards a little more carefully and reined in the ego.  Imagine a console with a lineup of exclusives like FFVII, GTA, Metal Gear Solid, Mario 64, Zelda, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, etc... This is what the N64 could have been.  Nintendo is just lucky that they have so much talent as a game maker because they have made multiple business decisions in the last 20 years would have sunk 95% of companies out there.

Just thinking about that CD-based N64 in an alternate timeline. Is there any doubt it would have been inarguably the greatest console ever released?
