Bah, well what’s up?

2) sony was trying to rip nintendo off by stealing almost all the profit nintendo made on every cd made. nintendo went behind their back and made a deal with philips to get some leverage in the situation, but sony didn’t budge. eventually nintendo had to break off and try to do it with philips. the project fell through, nintendo went back to cartages, sony made the ps1 with the n64’s spare parts and cds.

learn the whole story, genious.

then whos fault is it for not reading the contract, god!

They did read the contract and partnership agreements. That’s why they canned it is when they did read it.

It’s obvious you don’t know your history on this but Sony and Nintendo had simply been in talks of creating a new system which nintendo wanted called SNES CD and Sony wanted it to be called the Playstation. But whatever. Anyways they were expected to announced their partnership at that 1991 CES show floor. Sony and Nintendo had both openly stated that they were in talks. So when it was time to make the partnership official by signing the documents NIntendo noticed something put in by Sony. That was explained by Kev360 so I don’t need to go into detail about that.

Well as soon as Nintendo saw that they said fuck that. So behind Sony’s back they cancelled it so when Sony went to go to CES to announced the agreement they looked like retards cause at the same showcase Nintendo was talking about their partnership for Philips.

So yes Nintendo was quite harsh to Sony in the cancelling part but for what Sony wanted to use their discs were outrageous. So I guess both companies did things they shouldn’t have but Nintendo did cancel for a good reason but shouldn’t have turned down their partnership at a public even twhile Sony confirmed it.

The reason Nintendo went behind Sony’s back and talked with Phillips was because Sony wanted the rights to any Software that was produced on their discs. That basically means that Sony could take one of the Zelda or Mario games and sell it to a competitor (i.e Sega) for more profit. Nintendo saw this possibility and ended it’s partnership, if Sony hadn’t gone off an requested the license to the games as a price for using their discs then Nintendo wouldn’t have betrayed Sony.


well yes ur right they did want the rights, except nintendo already signed it with sony so sony just caried on and made the drive in agreement with ninty, but then ninty then realised what they signed and they cancled it when sony had already made lots


Yeah, Sony screwed up first, so although Nintendo did indeed create their arch-nemesis in a way, they also stopped Sony from completely taking over their company.

And let’s not forget Sony’s reason to jump into gaming, it wasn’t to make awesome games, it wasn’t to try something new, it was to utterly crush Nintendo. Now who are the bad guys?


They entered gaming to make money dumb fuck nintendo and sony werent even in competition then sony was way richer then nintendo and had no reason to destroy nintendo plus if they wanted to they would just buy out nintendo


If that was true then wouldn’t they have already done that? They would have bought out Nintendo’s relations with Capcom, SE, Konami, and buy some of their biggest second party developers like Retro Studios and Intellengt Sytems. Both of those second party companies made some of the biggest games for Nintendo.


Well they didnt want to take nintendo like you people say they wanted to

RTIYS2, Sony could never buy out Nintendo. Sony wants revenge while Nintendo is passionate about their games. Nintendo would never let Sony buy them out.

Back in September or October last year MSNBC showed a special program called “Game On! The Unauthorized History of Video Games”. During this program they explored each major company’s reason for entering the gaming market.

Nintendo first entered into the Market because they wanted to bring gaming in from arcades to your TV screen.

Sony entered the gaming market with the intention of crushing (not buying out, but actually completely killing the company by taking their buisness) because they felt betrayed.

Microsoft entered the market in order to get their products into the entertainment room.

If you don’t believe me then go watch the program “Game On! The Unauthorized History of Video Games” on youtube or something.


That is the biggest load of bullshit I probely have ever heard. Every company entered the gaming industry for one reason. Money. Sony didnt enter to take nintendos buisness they entered to make more money just like microsoft and nintendo. It doesnt make any scense why Sony does not want to buy out nintendo because they want to take there buisness witch they could do by buying nintendo out. That sounds like complete horse shit

How many times do I have to tell you that Nintendo actually cares about it’s customers? How many times do I have to tell you that Nintendo is passionate about video games? Nintendo wouldn’t sell even if the price is right, especially at this time when DS and Wii are kicking Sony’s ass and taking their name.

Whether you like it or not it’s true. There is a big difference between making money, and getting revenge.


if they wanted to get revenge they could had just gone “Oh they backstabbed us so we will buy them out and show them not to fuck with us” but they didnt since nintendo breaking the deal didnt affect sony and sony didnt care and rubbed it in there face when the PS1 outsold n64


You know nothing about this situation, and you know nothing about Business. I take and Understanding Media class so I know for a fact that any company, including Sony, can’t just buy out any company they want even if they have enough money, it doesn’t work that way.
