The original SNES-CD platform was developed in a short-lived partnership between Nintendo and Sony, with the goal to release an add-on for the standard SNES, as well as a hybrid console by Sony called the PlayStation.

Sony decided to go their own way and continue developing a stand-alone console, which ended up inheriting the PlayStation name.
