[Zenien]

This was posted on another forum, but I think it's a decent look back at the rise of Sony, so here you go. Expect much Nintendo comments in this thread.

WITHOUT EVEN WATCHING THE VIDS, I CAN SAY THIS MUCH: 'NINTENDO' BASICALLY GIVING THE 'PS1' TO 'SONY', IS PROBABLY THE SINGLE LARGEST BLUNDER IN GAMING HISTORY.....AND THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MOVE AS WELL. IMAGINE WHAT THE GAMING CLIMATE WOULD BE LIKE, IF 'SONY' HAD ENTERED THE MARKET, THE SAME WAY 'MS' DID........OVER A YEAR LATE, AND WITH SIMILAR HARDWARE TO THE ESTABLISHED COMPETITION.

Agreed x100.

I will say that its one of the best decisions ever made by SONY Corporate. They realised what a good product they had and totally screwed Nintendo out of the deal.

They didn't screw Nintendo, Nintendo was just stupid.

You should watch the video, Nintendo tried to backdoor Sony and screwed themselves.

They got what they deserved!

That depends on what version of the history you want to go with

Bottom line...

Nintendo did the wrong thing by being stupid.
Sony did the right thing by being asses.

lol. Nintendo inks a deal with Sony and in hindsite feel they did not ask for enough of the percentage of ownership in the process. Nintendo then proceeds to go behind their back trying to get someone else to do the exact same thing (dirty pool Nintendo, dirty pool) they had contracted with Sony to do. They then screw themselves out of their fair share in the process. I think Sony did nothing wrong and Nintendo got what was deserved. Sony was really the brains behind the machine anyway as Nintendo had the idea but Sony developed it.
