I don't know why anyone would ever try to argue against that argument. This "fall out of fashion business". Most consumers have a set amount of money they can spend on games, some people can only by 3, some 10, some 15, whatever. Your game is going to compete against a company that spans more genre's than any other game company, makes more money than every other game developer combined, and can objectively be considered to have had the greatest influence on video games throughout its history.
How is that not daunting? That is downright scary. If any other industry had something like this, how many companies do you think would scary them away? I mean I believe developers have always been "left with scraps" when going against Nintendo. It's just with the Wii, Nintendo has expanded the user base so much, that now theres tons of "scrap" left over. So much you can't even really call it scraps anymore.
