But halfway the project, Nintendo decided to stick with the cartridges and ditch the project. So Sony continued the project on it's own and released the Playstation. Sometime later Nintendo released the N64 and the rest is history.The original Nintendo Playstation was a SNES with a CD-ROM drive. However, Nintendo was in talks with another company (Phillips, IIRC), and this pissed off Sony to no end, which made them break the deal. But around that time, the SuperFX chip came along, and actually was more powerful than the planned CD-based console!
The only similarity between the original Nintendo Playstation and the released Sony Playstation is the name - the hardware is totally different between the two.
