I still don't see what "trouble" nintendo was...
And while some developpers might have wanted a CD addon (I don't know, my reading material in the first half of the nineties was limited to Nintendo Power), I'm not sure the "market" did. I know that I bought a 64 before a playstation, and that the playstation FMV's didn't impress me at all.

The first fully CD rom based console was Amiga CD 32 by Commodore and the first 32 bit home system at that. I believe it came out in 92-93 if I'm not mistaken,well anyways it flopped everywhere but UK.None of the big boys trusted the CD roms as their storage medium all getting scared away that piracy would be the first to kill these systems + at the time it was pretty expensive and troublesome to manufacture these systems.

CD audio was an awesome feature for many people, as was digitized speech, and the larger games that CD allowed.
Controlled Farce: No one cares. We're talking about add-ons, and NEC's TurboCD came out in 1989.
Not to mention the Amiga CD32 was developed by Amiga, not Commodore.

Amiga was a standalone company.
Commodore had a distribution contract with Amiga.
It's like saying the NES was made by Mattel because Mattel distributed the NES in Canada.
