    The ps1 didnt copy the snes. Nintendo contracted Sony to design a CD attachment for the snes, but then nintendo went to Philips and partnered with the CD-i project. Which pissed off sony and they used their experience and infinite resources to design a new system purely in spite. It just turned out being too good.

    As for using the “same” sound chip. Are we really suprised that a company who owns a circuit chip manufacturer would use their own chips?
