Ummm... No. When Nintendo announced their partnership with Phillips, Sony had every intend to cut their losses and abandoned the PlayStation project. They were not under any obligations to continue it. But it was Ken Kutaragi that convinced the then president of Sony that "Nintendo publicly shamed Sony" and that the PlayStation project should continue. And when examining a found "Nintendo PlayStation" prototype, it was concluded that the peripheral would have been no more powerful than the SNES it was designed for. So given some of the business and technical development details prior to the original PlayStation and the PlayStation itself, it was more of a "rebirth" for Sony and a botched opportunity for Nintendo.

How are we not saying the same thing?
I said the reason Playstation exists today is thanks to Nintendo.
All you have done is explained how.
Nintendo started off getting into a partnership with Sony. Sony spent however long working on the said partnership. At the last minute, Nintendo undercut sony and decided to go a different route. Someone at any (ken) wasn't having it and got the company to build a console that would never have existed if Nintendo didn't cut them off, to begin with.

Ok. I"ll keep this simple: "Nintendo PlayStation" =/= PlayStation. There.
