The original Sony PlayStation almost wasn’t a Sony console at all… it started as a secret collaboration with Nintendo. 🎮
Sony was originally helping Nintendo build a CD-based add-on for the Super Nintendo. But in a plot twist worthy of a boss battle, Nintendo abruptly backed out and partnered with Philips instead… publicly. Sony was left standing there like, “oh… it’s like that?”
So Sony took their tech, went rogue, and created the PlayStation as a standalone console. 💁🏻♀️
