There's a reason why Nintendo changes the interfaces and stays steady on the innovationist tip. That's what keeps consoles from dying out as a medium. Specialized accessible gaming computers = Game console Never forget that. People think MS & Sony are best for this industry but if they knew their history they'd know that both of those companies would render the console extinct before long. High price and a focus on power for power's sake.

There is no doubt that nintendo help restart the gamin industry but no one is a mind reader and no one know whether or not another company could have come along and did the same thing. There is a place for every company that has graced the world of console gaming. The millions of gamers out there have different points of entry into gaming and that is through different consoles and games. Saying MS and Sony are bad for gaming is just not true. Sony has Helped grow this industry because each of thier previous consoles has sold 100 million+ and has dragged a bunch of new people into the gaming world. MS has used the Xbox and exposed alot of gamers who love competition and online play. The xbox might have moved more Hardcore PC gamers into owning and enjoying a console. Its great that Nintendo has been changing their controllers but there is a saying that if it isn't broke don't fix it. While I am not complaining about ANY of the controllers on the market, I am just saying I am just as happy with my same old PS3 controller that is a slightly upgraded PS1 controller and my 360 slightly upgraded Xbox type s controller as I am with my Wii remote. If nintendo went away today I would be sad but that would not end console gaming. It would just irk a niche of people. IF this industry did not have sony and MS I would have put down video games completely after the N64. It is good that there are three companies catering to different crowds because as much as the nintendo fans do not want to believe it., there are multiple things that make up a great game. Good gameplay is only one of them.
