It would have been interesting for sure. But I think Sony was too big to be willing to let Nintendo take the lead and Nintendo was never going to give up complete control of their game system. My ideal video game landscape would be Nintendo vs. Sega vs. Atari but I'm just nostalgic that way. Sony and Microsoft are still the new kids on the block to me.

I agree, nintendo will never hadn over it's system or mario for that fact. I think sega could make a come back if they wanted but they would have to do something NEW but that failed for the dreamcast

Ironically, the Dreamcast was my favorite Sega system and the only Sega system I had when it was new. It just came out at an awkward time because of the early failure of the Saturn. I thought it was a nice system but lack of much 3rd party development really hurt it. That's the death knell for any system.

Agreed, I never owned one we had PS1 and N64 still but I think if they would have pushed it back to go with PS2 we may have seen a whole new console war
