12 Biggest Missed Opportunities In Gaming History

3. The 'Nintendo PlayStation'

It's hard to imagine a world where Sony and Microsoft are one, but way back before the PlayStation even existed, creator and visionary Ken Kutaragi was working with Nintendo to produce a hybrid 'Nintendo PlayStation' - something that would've no doubt gone on to rule the medium forevermore.

Sadly, the project fell apart when the two parties couldn't agree on how such a system would split its revenue (being it would play Nintendo cartridges and Sony's own CDs), leaving gamers to speculate on a world where the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Mario co-exist in the same universe.
