But that’s not actually when they *severed* the contract – Nintendo basically announced the Philips deal as a force to get Sony to renegotiate the contract.
Nintendo announced the Philips partnership at ’91 CES, and Sony did discovery it beforehand (not when it was publicly announced), albeit only two days before. If the “SNES CD” had been successful in the end Sony would’ve almost certainly just ended up being able to marginalize Nintendo entirely (and likely would’ve ended up just buying them or something). The original contract that Nintendo agreed to would’ve been horrendous for them – I’m pretty sure they only did it because they figured Sony didn’t have much interest in a games console and was just interested in a “home media” version while Nintendo would still be the “game” side.Īfter all, after the Philips debacle Sony went to Sega, who eventually nixed the idea because, well, Sony wasn’t a game company.Įxcept there were plenty of rumors and hints that Kutaragi *totally did* want to be in the game console business, and the way the Nintendo contract was written Sony would’ve had the rights to every “Super Disc” title. It’s common to say that Nintendo “betrayed” Sony, but that’s not really fair, because really, Nintendo betrayed Sony before Sony had a chance to do it to Nintendo.

The build log goes into incredible detail on the way these machines operated, and if you have a Pippin still sitting around it might be time to grab it out of the box and start customizing it in the way you probably always wanted to.

has finally cracked this computer, allowing it to run custom software, by creating an authentication file which is placed on the CD to tell the Pippin that it is “approved” by Apple.

The idea was to be a full media center of sorts, and the software that it would run would be loaded from the CD-ROM at each boot. The Pippin was Apple’s only foray into gaming consoles, but it did much more than that and included a primitive social networking system as well as the ability to run Apple’s Macintosh operating system. An example is the Pippin, a console made by Apple, which until now has been unable to run any software not signed by Apple.
While these were the most popular consoles at the time, there were a few others around that are largely forgotten by history even if they were revolutionary in some ways. Nintendo vs Sega was an epic showdown at first, but when Nintendo seemed sure to clench the victory Sony came out of nowhere with the PlayStation. Back in the 90s, the console wars were in full swing.
