I'm sure that could have turned into a preemptive strike on them since if they could have made a strong argument that they were breaching their contract and performing corporate espionage. If you have anything to read on the subject please to it out to me because I have only seen the stuff saying that Nintendo dropped them.well i posted this once.. But the link doesn't work anymore. here is an old thread were we talked about it. (Once again someone tried to go the other way on that issue)

If you read those articles you find out. When Nintendo and Sony signed they didn't realize that sony kept control and that sony was planning on making a console that could play nintendos cartridges and such. Thus that made nintendo made and they dropped the deal with Sony. Sony played Nintendo the whole time.
And reading it why i think there is this lots of misleading feeling about it is because at the time like the Wikipedia mentions that alot of japanese people felt nintendo did a bad thing because they dropped another japanese company for a european one. even though sony was the one that was backstabbing nintendo the whole time.
