(This is a revisit of a old thread that I made a year ago. Click here to see the old thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-nintendo-sony-philips-partnership.520368/) So, what if the SNES-CD was made by both Nintendo, Sony AND Philips? How would that happen? How would that...

So I'm sure that some of you have heard of the SNES-CD by now. It was going to be a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, with Sony making a all-in-one hybrid console called the PlayStation, until Nintendo dropped Sony out of the project, and instead went with Philips to make the add-on...
