, I don't believe Sony's should be either, because if you remember, they only entered the market in a big way because they felt "betrayed" by another Japanese company (Nintendo), which they took Japanese levels of offence to (because that's just like the Japanese to go all Samurai period levels of pissed off, seriously, I'm not joking, history tells you how easy it was to offend them), and decided they wanted to crush their would-be partner.

Well yes and no, they designed a full working console for Nintendo that didn't materialize over fee disputes. So using their prototype, removing the SNES cartridge part, and making an actual console isn't the same, I mean they spent money on the prototype.

They met with SEGA after that in talks with Sony designing the next SEGA console. Both Sony and SOJ decided not to. I know SOA really wanted that deal to happen and Tom Kalinkse was more right than even he could have predicted. This chapter is always skipped over when people talk about how PS1 came to be.
