Well, all kind of monopoly is bad, but I don't think that what Nintendo is doing is actually a domination. Sony have the most selling console ever, PS2, which is still selling well for a "old generation console". Microsoft is rising day after day with its Xbox 360, at least in America and Europe. In fact, what Nintendo is doing is 'equilibrating' the fight. After 10 years with great selling portables (GB after Pokémon, GBC, GBA, DS) and bad selling platforms (N64, GC), Big N reassumed its part of the market, showing that it's not a company just 'for kids', but for any gamer, even if it is a kid, an adult or a elderly. Finally, the "reactionary spirit" that Yamauchi left in the company for more than 20 years is being destroyed. Wii and DS are the proof of that. The market says thanks, and Sony and Microsoft now are finally fighting with the 'good and old' Nintendo. Here we go!
It sounds good when you say "For the People", but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people.
