The Dark History of the Video Game Industry, Episode 1: Why The Nintendo PlayStation Was Never Released. Or the Sony Super Nintendo, whichever you prefer.

This is the start of a new series on Dark Pixel Gaming in which we’ll explore some of the darker aspects of the video game industry and its history. I’ve been excited to tell these kinds of stories for a long time and have been researching like crazy. Let me know if Dark History is something you’d like to see more of! In this episode we go into the complicated history between Sony, Philips and Nintendo, in which the Super Disk, Play Station and CD-i were all a part of the Super Nintendo’s future. The SNES would have been an even better console than it already was! Plus, Dark Pixel? Dark History? It’s like we were made for each other!
Also, how crazy different would the industry be today if the Sony Nintendo Deal actually went through!!??

It's because Sony wanted to be able to license shovelware for the Super Nintendo and Nintendo didn't want to let them
love learning about the history of video games like this!
The nintendo playstation 😅
So basically Sony were just being jerks?
Nintendo: sorry sony but we are not working with you guys we are with Phillips.
Phillips: Hi.
Sony: THEN WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN CONSOLE THEN.
Nintendo: Good luck with that we are still number one.
The Next Year PlayStation arrived and managed to make fun of Nintendo
This would have been a shit show. It's a good thing it didn't happen. The specs on the found prototype weren't all that amazing. It would have just been an SNES with larger storage and CD audio, no major graphical updates.
That console is like if my best friend and best female friend hooked up and had a child
Nintendo broke the unwritten rule of discrimination.
Nintendo's decision to part ways with Sony was a big mistake, it's inconceivable that if these two consoles merged, a great game would be created, and in the end it was Sony who ruled the console from the first to the fifth series to date.
Gaming would be better if we have Nintendo PlayStations.
NPS1 = PS1 and N64
NPS2 = PS2 and GCN
NPS3 = PS3 and Wii
NPS4 = PS4 and Wii U
NPS5 = PS5 and Switch
Imagine how huge the game libraries would be. So many good games to play. The Nintendo games would also be better. Imagine Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl with PS3 graphics and better gameplay and controls. Mario Kart Wii looking like Mario Kart 8 would be sick.
Music in this video is 🔥
This whole video is PR. There were SOOOOO many shady quotes by Sony heads that pushed Nintendo into an adversarial position. The partnership was just never meant to be.

Sony is an idiot if a company. Upstarts wanted to take the crown.

Can you imagine , we could have had the Sega PlayStation. 🤔
YOU NOOB SONY INVENTED THE CD
Sony hates nintendo so much they Change everything 💪
Imagine Sony and Nintendo did a deal now to develop exclusives on each others platform, would be amazing playing zelda on the ps5 and games like sackboy on the switch
Ken Kutaragi went DEMON TIME on Nintendo.
Sega should have taken the offer
Every company, since the Snes up until the Dreamcast (no DVD) did everything they could to make Sony the number 1 brand in videogaming, or it seems that way, extremely rare coincidences one after the other. Notice that nowadays only 2 companies control the videogame industry, one is Sony, and they aren't mostly focused only on videogames, few powerful companies controlling everything, it's called "monopoly", very suspiscious. See ya.
Some of this is fake news, the Wii sold out like five Christmas' in a row. GameCube has never stopped being in high demand PlayStation has few collectors although was a good system
Very informational. I shudder to think the hellscape gaming would be today if Nintendo had a monopoly on the best gaming hardware/tech. Karmic justice: Nintendo = Bad consumer practices = Old gen overpriced systems and games.
Thank you Nintendo for helping create PlayStation. Also f you for being anti-consumer.
Life is about being strong enough to go with the wind instead of being a soulless reject with a weak mind who fights the wind out of weakness. Weak minded folks would had continued to beg Nintendo and Sega instead of doing it themselves
Playstation aka the biggest mistake of Nintendo
But i owend one just like that i got ir from my paw paw then my mom sold it at a yard sale
1:45 But…. Nintendo should've worked with Microsoft rather than Sony and Philips because you know how the Minecraft game came to switch.
Nintendo: get outta here
Sony: I don't need you!
Sony 1997: we're taking Square too!
Sony 2001: We're making Square delay the release FFX just to screw your GameCube!
That's a grudge if I ever saw it.
damn this bitch is dramatic
Sony got greedy
the greatest creation came from Philips Nintendo collaboration is Youtube poop
PlayStation 1 and 2 are the greatest video game systems ever made. Sorry Nintendo, Xbox, sega.
Nintendo Created Playstation The Same Way Obadiah Stane Made Ironman
Thanks Nintendo for Sony PlayStation:D
Think of all the people that did not own a SEGA CD, because they were waiting for Nintendo to make one.
n64 was and is jank
Nintendo betrays Ikegami, and after that Sony..
I think Microsoft tried to collaborate with Sony just like Sony did with Nintendo. Sony rejected it because of how they had bad experience with Nintendo and that's how Microsoft came out with their own console just like Sony did.
Nintendo's betrayal of Sony is a worse Business move than when coke had a chance to buy pepsi…wtf were u thinking Nintendo? Oh i know "We the big boys and they like ants to us, there's no competition here" don't get me wrong though..thank the video game gods that Nintendo made that move…i love Nintendo to this day they're an amazing company that's different but the PlayStation brought their A+ game to the industry i mean in early 96 i wanted the N64 so much i was counting the days until i played a few games on a friend's PS1 and then got my own and from 96 onwards there really was no competition…terrible move Nintendo but it made video games exponentially better than they most likely would've been so more than anything Thank u
I'm going to say that Nintendo has a habit of making enemies instead of negotiating with Sony when they saw the loophole in their contract they instead made an enemy that is still a thorn in their side to this day
Part 2 when
This is exactly what Microsoft is trying to do now. Destroy the videogames industry. Hope you Sony and Nintendo joined forces to stop it.
And the thing is the CD-I didn’t benefit from this or Sega both Nintendo and Sony left them in the dust the fact that all ended with the PlayStation it’s sorta good cause Sega would have never ever beaten Nintendo let’s be honest here they we’re a nuisance to them but Sony beat them and force them not never compete which in hindsight really fuck Sony cause the ps3 and sorta the ps5 now no one it’s competing no even Microsoft cause they are partners with Nintendo and have a mutual agreement while Sony its well there they don’t want to team up they still have bit of an ego but hopefully we get a turn around
I feel sorry for SEGA 🙁
Lmao sega should have taken sonys offer, look what happen to sega. I was a nes guy til Nintendo dropped Sony, I followed Sony I never bought the n64, I wanted something new, a disc. I'm happy with Sony, I have owned and own all playstations
I agree with your conclusion. You have to have great competition to stay good
