Fries said in an interview with IGN:
"We sat down with [late Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata] and others and we said, 'This is what we want to do, could we partner? Could we work together on this?' And basically they said no."
Following Nintendo's rejection, Fries said Bill Gates, who was Microsoft's CEO at the time, approached Sony to discuss a similar deal as well.
"Can we work together? Can we partner?" Fries said Gates asked the team. "And they said no."
