Frankly, I think you're trying to poke holes in a straightforward concept. And now you've dug your heels in and you're trying to justify it. But... let's ignore opinions and interpretations...

> Sony heard about Nintendo partnering up with Philips for the SNES CD expansion, so Sony made their own console

This is completely inaccurate in every way possible. You even have the order of events backwards (Nintendo and Sony partnered first). There is in no way in which even the most charitable interpretation of this statement could bear out. Just about the only correct part is that you have some (but not all!) of the relevant parties involved.

If you're wrong about such a well documented, cut and dry matter of historical record, then what else are you wrong about? :)

That isn’t actually refuting his original argument. Just proving his example false.

Then you beg the question with a bit of a straw man fallacy thrown in.

Correct. It is extremely false. And it's an extremely well documented event, as well.

I expressed my opinion. I did not misrepresent that person's argument (i didn't represent it at all). As for begging the question, well, I'm not sure what you're referring to, unless you mean the intensely cut and dry sequence of historical events? In which case... well, they're so unaligned with reality that it's comical.
