I think you are confusing yourself here.
I NEVER said that the Nintendo Playstation was the original PlayStation.
The Nintendo Playstation was meant to have been a CD add on fr the snes made for Nintendo by sony, and a CD and cart version of the snes made by sny that also played Nintendo games ut with more robust multimedia functions. Kinda like how we had a Sega CD add on for the Mega Drive. Only that with the Nintendo Playstation t was a more integrated device as opposed to a CD drive plugged into the cart bay. If the said device ever came to light and was a commercial success, chances are the N64 would have been CD based as opposed to cart based.
The PlayStation as it came to be, came about after Nintendo canceled (or rather stabbed sony in the back) the whole Nintendo Playstation CD project when they found out that the agreement made mean that sony would have more control over the disc stuff than Nintendo were comfortable relinquishing. At that point, sony went from making a disc and cart-based version of the SNES, to making their own disc-based console, the Playstation. The prototype of the Nintendo Playstation plays SNES games.
The original Playstations "independent" development only started and came about "after" Nintendo pulled out of the Nintendo PlayStation project by announcing they were going with Phillips instead. Which happened in 1991, three years before the original Playstation actually released.

No. PS1 came after SEGA and Sony had talks for Sony to manufacture the Saturn. Those talks fell apart and then Sony went to make PS1.

PS1 came 3 years after the Sega CD. And one year before the Sega Saturn.
Did I wake up in some sort of alternate reality where no one remembers or knows this shit?
I don't even get what your comment has got to do with what I was saying. I wasn't even talking about sega, just said that originally the Nintendo PlayStation (or at least one version of it) was supposed to be a CD add on for the SNES the same way the sega CD was an add on for the Mega Drive.
And yes, after Nintendo baked off their agreement with sony in 1990 sony considered taking their tech to sega instead, but ultimately decided to just make their own console.
None of this changes what I was originally saying, Nintendo is responsible for the Playstation existing as it is today.
