    Yes, an agreement to make a CD console, thats it. Sony then proposed that they wanted a profit margin on every game sold which was fucking ridiculous. Its like Nvidia demanding Sony they want 10% of profit of every PS3 game sold.

    Even though the console was a failiure because of the ridiculously high price of the Sony technology ($1000)...sound familiar?

    Well people need to get this straight.

    Nintendo had HUGE experience in the gaming market. Sony had nothing.

    All Sony added to the console was CD capability which was already available from Phillips.

    Sony wanted massive profits from every game sold and decided to leave Nintendo and "steal" the "playstation" name which they recently lost the right to use the word playstation for the PSOne.

    It was Nintendo's console and Sony wanted most of the profit. All Nintendo wanted was the CD technology. This was all Nintendo's technology apart from the CD write speeds.

    Basically Sony was greedy and wanted a share on every game sold. Nintendo disagreed.

    These videos are innaccurate slightly...

    Exactly. Nintendo had an agreement with Sony. They flaked on the deal and left sony in the cold. Then sony decides to create it's own system. Which it did.
