Nintendo ditching the PlayStation, they must be thinking right now: "All of this could've been ours!"

I suspect that's not true, contractually speaking.

Of course not, it was just ironic exaggeration, but even if it was indeed a bad bussiness choice, it's only clear in hindsight, I'm sure most companies would've done the same as Nintendo at the time.
