The Playstation was originally supposed to be a CD-Rom "add on" to the
super NES. Would it have been as powerful had it been released as an
add-on instead of a stand alone? EGM this month has implied that it
indeed would have been the same machine, stating that Sony realized
they could do the playstation themselves (apparantly, all of the SNES
chips were available "off the shelf", so they were able to complete the
project without Nintendo at all).
What are your thoughts on this? Also, in a roundabout way could it be
said that the Playstation was an "extention" of the Super Nintendo and
the SNES hardware????????????????????????
