The PS1 came into existence because of the CD add-on Sony worked on for the Super Nintendo was under a contract that meant that Sony would be making all the profits out of it and have control of licensing. Nintendo didn't want to do that, so they broke off. With Nintendo going with Philips for another attempt at this CD add-on, it added fuel to the fire and Sony further developed what they had into the PS1.
