Change never comes without those who resist it, and some revolutions are a hard fight against the old, entrenched ways. The NES was an easy revolution, but the NES entered into a vacuum. The DS/Wii stepped into an industry that was seeing unprecedented levels of success, and said "no, this is wrong. Let's fix it" despite the fact that it didn't really need fixing at the time.
Now, of course, it's easier to see. Revenues are up, but profits are non-existant, which seems to be hurting most everyone, except those who have invested more heavily in Nintendo products. Ubisoft, as much as we hate what they do on Wii, is in the black. So is the hated Activision. SEGA isn't doing particularly well, but they are bouncing back. EA, TakeTwo, and others that spurned the platform or simply gave lip service to it are doing poorly. Midway basically ignored the platform, and is now on the brink of annihilation
Things are going Nintendo's way now, in the sense that now they are in the position to start breaking down the "hardcore resistance" due to these financial developments. SEGA shall hopefully be the beginning of a turnaround in quality core support, though Ubisoft's TMNT game and publishing of NMH2 show more positive signs from them, too
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
