Alternate history: N64 goes with CDs instead of cartridges

The point is exactly that, that Nintendo being a tyrant lead they to look for other alternatives, and they found Sony. CD or not CD they would have flocked to the better business partner so it would be likely that the fate of N64 would be still selling less than SNES instead of over 80M as some have estimated.

Hey it's alternate history...so any outcome is possible. The N64 was too powerful a machine, and it had too good of a start for it to crash like it did if Nintendo had gone with the CD format. We would have seen FFVII on the N64, Konami might have done MGS on the N64 as it had better hardware to power up the game. Gran Turismo still would have been a hit for Sony, but it would have been close race.

You are the second to say it. For me we had to follow the change OP suggested that is just making N64CD and keeping the rest more or less untouched and see what would change because of the CD in it.

If anything goes by we could say Sony wouldn't create PS1, instead Nintendo would buy Sony and every TV from Sony would come with a CD reader for N64 games and they would sell billions of units.
