reason N64 didnt have CD ROM is because Sony owns the rights to CD and DVD and it would not let Nintendo have the rights so it would compete with PSX
actually that isn't true.. Nintendo wanted to keep a system that had no loading time. because they saw people bitching about loading times.. so they wanted to produce a system. they didn't forsee alot of 3rd party support leaving due to costs in production of cartriges and lower profit margins.. Also Sony don't have the rights to Cd's.. its Phillips that does.. and the other thing Sony was going to be the one to make the cd add on for the Super Nintendo and then they decided to take what they where learning from doing that to build the psx.. and nintendo found out about this and well cut the deal with them..
