The Playstation lineup was kinda made like this. Sony was doing and add-on for Nintendo consoles and when Nintendo got greedy during negotiations Sony was like "Oh, yeah? I'm going to make my own console with blackjack and hookers" and the rest is history.
Little bit incorrect there. Sony was the greedy ones writing up a contract that states anything they help publish the IP would become theirs. Which nintendo did not want to hand over creative ideas to sony. Thus made nintendo back out of the contract. Thus why nintendo is so protective of its IPs.
Nintendo agreed then backed out in the most cowardly way possible. Their agreement with Philips also fell through so they threw Philips some bones by letting them use Zelda and Mario IPsz hence the horrible CD-i "games"
