In 1991, Nintendo shocked Sony executives by announcing that they were cancelling their deal to make the Nintendo PlayStation, instead collaborating with Philips. In real life, Norio Ohga sought revenge, and created the PlayStation brand to compete in the competitive games industry. The product was arguably the best known brand in video game history.In this timeline, Ohga Shrugs.This alternate history deviates from the usual political and military focus of the genre, instead focusing on, of all things, video game history. The history is presented through an encyclopedia format.Read it here.Compare Player Two Start, a timeline on AlternateHistory.com that covers the same subject matter as Ohga Shrugs with a ton of focus on the political and social aspects of a world where the Nintendo-Playstation partnership never fell apart.

Alternate Techline: Seventh generation consoles Revolution and Pluto are more powerful than our timeline's Wii, but weaker than the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

Media Watchdog: More prevalent than in real life, thanks to gaming's lesser popularity bringing less defenders.

Super Title 64 Advance: Game Boy 3DS games use the phrase "3D" a lot. Mario Kart is named "Nitro" on the Game Boy Nitro.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople): The Wii equivalent keeps its original codename "Revolution," and the Wii U equivalent keeps the codename "Stream." Also, it's the "Game Boy 3DS."
