Obviously pissed off, Sony took their new device and encased it in some gray plastic and put it on the market anyway! The rest – as they say – is history.

Regarding the N64 and PS, weren’t Sony and Nintendo originally planning to collaborate on a console with Sony manufacturing the CD component, or was it an add-on for the SNES or something?

The N64′s GPU was superior to the PS1′s in a lot of ways. The format and the gearing of the core audience on the PS1 is what made it successful. That, Megaman, and Final Fantasy. Hell yes.

By the way, anyone got a Power Glove for sale?
