In 1993, after Ninendo and Sony broke apart, Sony went to Sega to design their console. They created Codename Saturn, which would eventually become the highly popular Sega Playstation. It absolutely DESTROYED the N64 in sales. This then begs the question: What would happen if that deal fell apart as well? Would Sega even be in the hardware market? Would Nintendo have left? Would Sony make a console themselves? Would Microsoft join the console market instead of being a third party?
