Nintendo and Microsoft: East Recruits West
It is the year 1992 and Mario Paint is selling the SNES Mouse like hotcakes.
That is when Hiroshi Yamaouchi comes up with a new idea to bring advanced hardware to Nintendo's platforms. Why not bring the company Microsoft on board to develop hardware technology to help compete with Sega and Sony in the video game market?
Point of Divergence: In Mid 1992 Nintendo brings Microsoft into the console gaming market 9 years early than IOTL in an attempt to make more advanced hardware to compete with Sega. What about Sony? Probably not going to do much in that time frame. Nintendo learns about the Computer Gaming demographic and how that leads to a different market of gamers.
Butterfly Effects: Nintendo partners with computer game developers and those making games for Microsoft in an attempt to tap into a new market.
Note: Please tell me if this timeline is worth exploring.
Future Threadmarks:
Bringing the SatellaView West
A Console that is a Computer?
Bringing Everything WestWood
