If the N64 had a CD-ROM Drive, would've Nintendo won the generation in sales?

What contacts did Sony make? You guys act like they discovered Squaresoft and Capcom and Konami, lol. These companies were making a fortune for Nintendo and were closely associated with Nintendo for over a decade before Sony showed up.

It's like saying Vanilla Ice created hip hop/rap music, lol.

They simply just took Nintendo's developer support that was closely tied to the NES/SNES-eras because Nintendo made the dumb mistake of not using the CD format, which was a shock to everyone.

Like I can speak for it because I was actually interested in the game industry as a kid at that time, in those days this was even pre-internet connection for most people I'd go to a book store every 2 weeks to check up on their video game magazines and I still remember to this day reading that Project: Reality (Ultra 64/N64) would not use CD-ROM and I damn near dropped the magazine out of shock. I remember having to re-read it like 4 or 5 times to make sure it wasn't a mistake.
