Happysquirrel ,it seems I forgot some developers as the Pokemon games ones .Still ,in your list you include Camelot wich are no more related to Nintendo and have turned to develop games for mobile phones .In any case you can see from your own list that the difference in the teams between Sony and Nintendo is massive in Sonys advantage .Nintendo has their main team lead by Miyamoto ,Retro Studios and maybe Intelligent systems no one of their first party teams is a first line developer .And in the second party camp they have some 10 teams most one-trick pony as the ones responsible for the Pokemon and Kyrby games...maybe Monolith will prove themselves a top team but that remain to be seen .I would say that aside the Miyamoto team no one of the NIntendo teams have the talent or resources of teams as Team Ico ,Polyphony ,Naughty Dog ,Insomniac ,Guerrilla ,Evolution or Factor 5 just to name a few .I am not saying its games sell better or worse ,after all a no-game as Nintendogs has sold milllions of units ,what I am saying is that they dont have the technology ,the talent and the manpower to push this industry forward .It was pretty clear when seeing Miyamoto face when seeing games as Haze running .....he was like "what the fuck we could never do something like this with our tools and hardware this is another league lucky we sell way more than them !!" .Nintendo is putting themselves out of the top developers league .Once this generation finishes they will have a technology and know-how outdated so much that it will be hard for them to return to the first line .Well ,all the latest is pure speculation ,maybe one day they will finish breeding their money thirsty shareholders with their massive money and will put the money aside in investments in technology and manpower ....but for the time being they just seem to be in another venture .Be original ,market differently through a differentianting point ,invest the less possible in hardware and technology ,sell millions with established franchises and casual games ,then turn all that money to shareholders .
