Quote "I'm pretty sure the idea for Playstation came from the CD32 (and the somewhat inferior Sega CD).
Alas, they couldn't make enough CD32s to matter. They just didn't have the capital and supply chain they needed anymore."
The PS1 came from Nintendo.
Nintendo joined up with sony to develop a CDrom Add-on for the N64 to compete with the SegaCD, However they couldn't agree on the licensing terms.
Therefore sony went of and mad the PS1
