    During the early 90s, Nintendo and Sony were working together to make a joint console called the "Nintendo Playstation". However this was cancelled through a series of events, betrayals, and competition. Today we look at the complete history of the Nintendo Playstation

      Sony was growing into other markets. They started to enter the movie and music (label) industry. Nintendo felt that Sony would take over Nintendo and absorb them into Sony. That's why. Not this rehashed myth.

    That was a really fun watch my friend. I never knew until much later that Nintendo and Sony had made any deal of this sort so I don't remember the great betrayal that was Nintendo's 11th Hour coup de gras but I definitely remember the launch of the Playstation. What a great time that was! You had the emergence of 3d with SEGA Saturn and then there was the new kid on the block Sonys Playstation (then Nintendo 64 later) it was a true evolution happening right befor our eyes.

Idk I mean as time goes on of course graphical fidelity continues to reach new heights, but I really don't think (even with and advent of virtual reality ) that we will ever see the likes of another revolution quite like what happened in the mid to late 90s.

    There was never going to be a "Nintendo PlayStation". The PlayStation was always going to be a Sony product. Look at the prototype. Do you see a Nintendo logo anywhere on it?
    This myth that Nintendo "created" their greatest rival is just that. A myth. Once Sony decided they wanted to get into the video game industry, they became Nintendo's greatest rival, because they were willing to do anything (including lose money for well over a decade) to succeed. Nintendo very wisely extricated themselves from a deal that would have seen them become, essentially, a second party working for Sony and the entire industry would have been worse off for it.

    • @TheObsessiveGamer
      @TheObsessiveGamer  5 місяців тому +5

      Course it wasn't going to be called that, it's just a fan name to refer to the collaboration. However it was still a collaboration between the two, thus they both had a stake in it and share. It required the SNES to run afterall. So yes they still did create their greatest rival with that betrayal, but as you stated it still could have happened anyways if Sony built themselves up using this and went independent after. Basically Yamauchi's worry. Eitherways they may have been damned if they did, damned if they didn't

    My best guess is it'd expand the console's capabilities in a similar manner as the MegaCD did but then again, how could would it be if all those PS1 titles ended up being on that CD addon which optionally can also be purchased as its own console?
