You need to learn more about gaming history. Nintendo slighted Sony by dumping Sony (embarassing them too) and going with another manufacturer (Phillips) for the snes cd addon (and 2in1) called by Sony at the time the "Play Station" and this insult wound up causing the creation of the PlayStation we all know today..

I take it you may not have seen a Panasonic Gamecube then either

No, you need to. I;ve been into collecting for nearly 10 years now. I know what I am talking about. YES, they did drop Sony. I know that. But this was the console they were going to sell if they wouldn't have split. So i think YOU are the one who needs to learn.

Are you a troll? That's what I have learned. I am not exactly sure what else I as suppose to learn from your thread.

Because...

You don't make any sense, you think I need to learn because I knew about it for more than 15 years, and unlike you I am not losing my stuff over it. IIRC it was to be called the "Play Station".

Did actually get one, because that would be interesting, and you should lead with that.

So what? You can mess up the title. That is fine. The Redditor even said it was a Super Disc and HE has it.

Good for him? I thought you posted this to share with the community and to have a discussion on it, my bad.

Also IIRC , I have only seen reference that the superdisc was either a working title early in development and/or the name of the technology being used in it. I beleive Sony actually called it the "Play Station" at CES, you can always double check. There are also other versions of this console and I think in my opinion the one you have linked is the nicer looking one.

Since you have been collecting for 10 years and already know all about this, don't have anything to learn, and if you don't want a discussion about it, let me know. You can always throw me a PM to avoid adding any length to your thread.

The console is correct. Nintendo was working with Sony for a CD based add-on SNES. But a mixture of a bad license deal for using CD, where Sony was getting majority of profits, and part control of the add-on and not Nintendo, despite being their own console, and Sony asking too many questions they should not need asked on console development, and rumor that Sony was making their own console, made Nintendo cancel the deal.

Sony lost a lot because of the cancellation from Nintendo, and decided to instead of scrapping everything, they evaluated that they got enough information and knowledge to make their own for most problems, and issues, and attack in making their own. Sony PlayStation 1 was born.

Pictured look like the same console that was previously leaked back in the days of rumors of the SNES CD add-on. As you can guess it, it is obviously a dev console, hence why it isn't an actual add-on to the SNES. Could also be Nintendo wanted to have the door open to release SNES with the disk base add-on included, so that consumers don't need to buy the SNES and spend lots more money for the disk add-on, boosting market share of the CD, pushing game developers to support it.

This was sold in Japan actually, if I recall correctly, in limited quantity. It was a GameCube with the ability to play DVDs. The console didn't sale well in Japan. So they stop production very early, and never ported it outside. I don't know why this was the case, but assuming that I remembered correctly, the fact that it was indeed sold in limited quantities in Japan only, the price might have been an issue, or the lack of exclusive games (it didn't have maria game at the console release), made people not interested in the console at release, which connects to the low sales, but that is just an assumption. It's been way too long.

I think part of the reason why Sony didn't go through with this, is because Nintendo was talking to Philips too about a CD based console while they were talking to Sony.

The deal with Philips of course didn't entirely go through, but because of this Philips acquired a few rights, so they were able to use Mario and Zelda characters in a few games for their CD-I

what am I looking at there?

Wasn't the Phillips deal after Sony deal, for Nintendo next console? Well regardless.

I do remember that because Nintendo was this juggernaut at the time, every company wanted to screw over badly Nintendo. Sony had never had this problem, because, well, they were Sony, they did everything they needed in house, and had an R&D lab, and everything, somewhat similarly with Microsoft (although, let's face it, every time I hear about them spending billions of dollars in advertisement, I never see a TV ad, like most people, just on rare occasion, so I think the advertisement companies that Microsoft deal with are bringing the company to the cleaners, as we say).

I can see "SuperDisc" on the tray.

 

This is a cool photo and I've saved it to my machine - if only there were software titles which worked on it. I'd have loved to have owned that console, but, things would have been very different if plans were not cancelled.

I am pretty sure it was Nintendo that reneged on the deal with Sony, so I don't think Sony had much of a choice. I think Nintendo decided not to follow Sega with all the add-ons.

Another IIRC correctly, Sony announced their "Play Station" at CES and Nintendo later at the same CES announced their partnership with Phillips for the SNES addon, essentially blindsiding Sony. From a few gaming documentaries I have seen, this betrayal actually led to Sony creating a console out of spite.

SuperDisc was likely on the console as it was showing off and advertising the tech which was called SuperDisc.

They stopped because they wouldn't make much profit off the game selling (much, if not all, of the profits would go to Sony).

And Nintendo doesn't do add ons? The Satellaview would like to talk to you

Yea, that is what I remember as well. And that was because Sony was asking too many questions, as mentioned, and Sony wanted near full profit from game sales.
