Yes, I did. Let me use another anology. Say Richard, Fred, and Steve have $3, $4, and $10, respectively. Then, I go to each of them and give Richard $50, Fred $10, and Steve $2. They all have more money than before, but the only person who saw any real benefit is Richard because he now controls more of the wealth than before whereas Fred and Steve now control a lower percentage of it. The same can be said for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Microsoft, while having sold more consoles than last generation, still controls roughly the same amount of the market, whereas Sony controls far less and Nintendo controls far more. So let me say it again, the only one that's seen any real benefit this generation is Nintendo. If hardware isn't enough, look at the software. The vast majority of the best selling games this generation are either on the Wii or the DS.

If they all have more money than before, then they all saw a benefit. It's not a zero sum game. I don't think Fred and Steve will cry over having more money than before, even if it's less than what Richard has. Though Steve might call you a cheapskate for giving him a measly $2. But, in reality, "Steve" is bleeding money out of his ears... so he might need your $2 at this point.
In other news, your analogies suck.
