Want to see the very first PlayStation?
« on: June 26, 2006, 10:48:10 am »

Well, one can obviously see that the PlayStation was a combo between Nintendo and Sony.

P.S.: Refrain from your silly fanboy arguments that Sony stole everything.

Actually... Sony didn't steal anything. They bought it off Nintendo when Nintendo decided for some reason that they didn't want to make a CD system. Instead they accidentally created one of their biggest rivals. Not only does it explain the similarity in looks, but also ads in one hell of an ironic twist XD.

Well, with the Famicom and Super Famicom Disc-system, Nintendo already had experience with using discs as a storage medium for games. I guess they wanted to give it another try with Sony as partner, seeing how Sony had a lot of experience in the multimedia branch. Maybe Nintendo didn't want to continue with it because of loading times or something? Whatever be of it, if it was going to be good for Nintendo, they would've continued it. I guess Sony did see a future for it and agreed with Nintendo to go separate ways.

And that was quite possibly Nintendo's worst move in the history of gaming. They indirectly spawned a competitor that would become the gaming giant of modern times.

I wonder what things would be like if they would still be together.

Did you really have to write that? If it wasn't stealing (I'll keep my !@#$% mouth shut about that one, because I'm not right anyway), then it was at least pretty unclever.

Basically what happened was that Nintendo pretty much commissioned Sony to develop a CD-based console for them. However, for some reason, during the console's production, Nintendo screwed Sony over and struck a deal with Phillips instead, and thus the CD-I was born. Sony basically got pissed and released the PlayStation.

I remember I read this somewhere...

Someone was talking to Yamauchi about the SNES PlayStation addon and the agreement they made with Sony, and when Yamauchi was told that Sony would get 25% of the profits, he was outraged and called off the whole thing with Sony, or something along those lines.

Oh boy... Yamauchi... >_> Glad he's out of there.

Actually when he read the contract he was outraged and found a new partner within 24 hours of the announcement about the Play Station (Yes, the Nintendo addon had a space, so when the Sony one came out they took 0out the space to differenciate it's name), although that could be what he was outraged about.

Nice going, and good ignorance! If you'd care to read the topic or do some research, you would've found that this Playstation was designed by Sony and Nintendo.

Oh well.

Anyway, at least Nintendo noticed in time taht CD-i wasn't developed enough to be actually good. The second last Zelda-games on CD-i were only made with Nintendo's permission but not their request (if not the first one including).
Morons, they should have stayed with Sony. >_<

So, this is the fabled "Super Nintendo Playing Playstation" My brother keeps telling me
about.
There are only 30,000 which include the ones that were destroyed.
So, I'm surprised I could find a picture, Thanks!!!  ;D

Indeed. Then the PS3 would have true motion control and there would be a lot less flaming on the net.

isn't he [Yamauchi] the one who screwed things up with Square, too?

Hmm, it would've been cool if Sony and Nintendo stayed together, although part of me feels that one influence would be stifled, and it just wouldn't work. I guess we'll never know.

He is also the one who decided change Nintendo into a video game company. I mean, his family had been running the company for over 100 years and he had been at the reigns for what, 15 years? You can't expect him to do everything perfectly.

You can't blame any specific person at Nintendo for screwing things up with square though. Square didn't really like Nintendo because of all their rules and stuff for development, then when Nintendo went with the cartridge over the CD they decided they would rather take the extra storage space. Hence, we have pre-rendered cut scenes!

Whatever be of it, losing full support from Square(Enix) sucks ass. D:
They should split up their series. Like, Final Fantasy on Playstation and DragonQuest on Nintendo systems. (and I do mean *good* DQ games, not Dragon Quest Swords crap)
