No they entered into an agreement with Sony to make (1) a CD ROM add on for snes and (2) Sony would also sell a complete console version , they baulked when they realised that Sony co owning the rights to CD ROM would not just be a hardware supplier but receive royalties on every CD game sold ,but instead of working at a compromise over the licensing issues,  probably and (this is conjecture) along the lines of Nintendo buys a license for the add on in return for not having to pay royalties and a split  or some other arrangement on the Sony produced console, Instead they went to the other co owner Phillips to do a deal strong in the knowledge that they held all the cards either Sony would come running back with a deal or they would continue with Phillips and Sony would have to junk the playstation, Sony though was left red faced at CES and the rest is history.

Thank you, Miz!

And not everyone dislikes the game; after all, it resulted in giving the Mario universe some cool new characters including Shyguys, Bob-ombs, Pokeys, and Birdo... uh, well, three out of four ain't bad. 

hear, hear!!

Lol. The video is pretty funny though. :)

What? Sorry I was looking at your Sig ;)

blah blah blah!

 That was kind of immature dont you think? Now please stop commenting on my posts, it's getting kind of annoying.

ok im sorry nintendopie youre right that was immature and youre not an idiot. But my posts about sony's studios where objective. They own them, they develop games under sony. You might have had a case for studios like kojima productions and insomiac which make exclusive games for sony but are not owned by sony.its well known that sony have the most first party developers which make a lot of games for ps3 and psp and even sony online make a lot of pc games. so for you to say sony dont make there own games was not correct and to try and back it up with your subjective opinion irked me a little.

Again sorry for being rude.

If you aren't being sarcastic. Thanks for understanding, a little I guess. Your comments irked me too as it is my opinion and I was just trying to back it up, although I still don't agree, I am sorry for the debate and thanks again for apologizing, also ending this on a good note!

Ninty should surely be rich, big and healthy enugh to do it, but if an antitrust exists also in Japan, it would block such acquisition. BTW, Ninty most probably would keep tech, engineers, technicians, IP and dev teams, but it could be tempted to suppress the PlayStation brand, and this would be a loss for Japan and for the whole gaming world.
