How Would The World Of Gaming Be Now If....................

[dereksworl]

This is sort of a three question thread. just asking for opinions(dont want to start a flame war).

First what do you think gaming would be like today if Nintendo did end up using the Sony disc add-on for the SNES and the did devolop a partnership. Would we have had a PS1? would we have a PS3 now? What impact do you think it would have made?

Second, assume all events with Nintendo and Sony happened as they did, what if Sony had indeed decided to use Microsoft's operating system for the PS2. Would there have been an Xbox? would there be a 360 now? Would Halo 1 & 2 have been on the PS2 and would we have been playing Halo 3 and Gears of War on our PS3s right now?

lotta ?s i know. last one i promise. Now what do you think the world of gaming would have been like if both, questions 1 and 2, would have somehow actually happened. Nintendo used disc add-on, but Sony still made Playstation2 and then used M$'s operating system. would it be Sony and M$ Vs. Nintendo? or would they all be good close buddies?

Just my curiosity, Thanks for reading
