As the title says, have Sony lose the console war and be forced to stop making consoles (like Sega OTL). Also Sony has to be the one to release the console, it can't be some partnership with Nintendo or something.

It was simple enough. Beat Nintendo to the punch and release a new gaming console that captivated audiences with its 16-bit hardware. Everything was going smoothly until NEC decided to release their console on the scene in 1988 called the Turbo-Graphx16. Most of the game companies joined in...

Hi this is my first alternate history timeline, so writing tips and constructive criticism is appreciated. Plus there aren't a lot of “Nintendo buys Sega in the 2000s' ' timelines out there. Inspiration came from Player Two Start by Nivrk and RySenkari and Burying the Hatchet by Gaminguy010, and...

In 1989, Ken Kutaragi got his daughter a Famicom and realized the potential that existed with video games. He contacted Nintendo when discovering they needed help designing the sound chip for the Super Famicom (Super Nintendo) called the SPC700; however, Kutaragi did this without the knowledge...

As you know that Disney bought Club Penguin in 2007 but what if it was Sony instead? How long would Club Penguin last until 2020 with Flash ending in 2020? How would it be any different if Sony Bought Club Penguin.

So, what if Sony never entered the console market with the PlayStation, or just didn't bother with the idea of a game console at all, thus leaving Nintendo to compete with only Sega in the console wars? How would that happen? How would a Nintendo vs. Sega console war play out without Sony? Would...

(This is a revisit of a old thread that I made a year ago. Click here to see the old thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-nintendo-sony-philips-partnership.520368/) So, what if the SNES-CD was made by both Nintendo, Sony AND Philips? How would that happen? How would that...

INTERVIEW WITH STEVE MOSKO - September 14, 2022, the 20th Anniversary of Animax Steve Mosko: Back in 2001, I was heading Columbia Tristar Television, which was a subsidiary of Sony. (chuckles) Still is, actually, just under a different name. Interviewer: How did the idea for Animax come about...

(This thread started by getting spun off from the relevant part of my post in the 'Battle Royale: The Last Generation Of An SNES-CD Saga' thread for any further discussion.) Current maintainer/moderator/Facilitator-in-Chief: RandomDSdevel — that is: me, the OP. Update Frequency...

So I’ve lately been working on @TheBeanieBaron’s DC Comics Cinematic Universe collab TL (you can find it here), and after it started mentioning the Spiderman films and that TL’s version of the MCU, it got me thinking - what if 2000’s X-Men, 2002’s Spider-Man, and 2003’s The Hulk had created an...

As you may know, Nintendo made a deal with Sony in 1988 to develop a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES, as well as a SNES-compatible CD-based console called the PlayStation. However, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi began to grow wary of Sony and deemed the deal unacceptable upon realising that it...

So, your challenge here is to have Nintendo and Sega be more dominant in the console market than Sony, with Nintendo winning the console wars in 1st place, Sega in 2nd place and Sony in 3rd place.

I’ve seen plenty of Nintendo-Sony team-up TLs, some Sega-Microsoft TLs and a couple of Nintendo-Microsoft TLs, but not a single Sony-Microsoft TL. It’s known that before the public announcement of the PlayStation 2, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates approached Sony CEO Nobuyuki Idei about wanting Sony...

What if instead of releasing the Nintendo 64, Nintendo released a next-gen successor to the SNES at the same time the Sega Saturn and the PS1 came out, and this ATL SNES successor would be CD-based and have equal power to the Sega Saturn and the PS1? How would this happen? How would this affect...

So, your challenge here is to have Sony buy Walt Disney Pictures instead of Columbia Pictures at a plausible date.

There was a thread last month about screwing both Sega and Nintendo in the 90s, to the point where both would leave the console market. In there I had an idea that I thought would be interesting for a thread of its own: In retrospect, it seems Nintendo really dodged a bullet with their...

In 1988, Nintendo signed a contract with Sony to develop a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES. However, in 1991, Nintendo decided to partner up with Philips instead to develop the SNES-CD. Nintendo and Sony then attempted to sort out their differences, however, the rift between the two companies was...

Yeah, I know the "SEGA wins the console wars" Trope is a overused trope in Alternate History but would SEGA not having any 32X and SEGA CD still lead to Sega Third-Party? let's talk the context of the "SEGA Wins the Console Wars" trope, While Assuming that SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan gets...

I'm sure that most of us know about Sony. Founded in 1946 in Japan, it's one of the world's largest manufacturers of electronic products, one of the world's largest music companies, one of the world's largest film studios, making it one of the most comprehensive media companies. Sony first...
