"I don't think that's a fair analogy but whatever."

Comic books didn't have a Nintendo to pull them out of it before they turned from what TV Tropes calls "Pandering To The base" into what it calls "Running The Asylum

That's a shame. 

If comic-books had their own Nintendo-style rescue, we might be reading about Superman's Tea Partyz today instead.

Get your head out of your ass.

I do actually mean to be that rude. That is not what Nintendo is doing. They are finding what gets more people into games.

You have an anime avatar, which just makes you look even more ignorant for not bringing manga into here, and their demographics.

Reported.  Rudeness is uncalled for and you should know better by now.

Do you have a real point to make or just insults?

wait, has Nintendo flooded the market with Superman's Tea Partyz games yet??? Nintendo isn't responsible for the trash that 3rd parties produce, but they are responsible for creating both a system and games that people actually want (and pretty much an equal number of "hardcore" and "casual" games). Had Nintendo left the market, gaming would be doing horrible compared to previous generations, and we would be hearing a lot more 3rd parties anouncing they are going bankrupt than we are now.

Nintendo has demonstrated that it is possible to lower quality standards and make a lot of money while doing so.  They are not directly responsible for 3rd party content, but I would say they have, on some level,  definitely lowered the bar to allow for it.

If the only two possibilities you foresee for the current generation were Nintendo doing what it currently is and Nintendo is going out of business, then I would encourage you to think a little harder.  I do not think this generation could have gone any better for Nintendo as a company, but I wonder at what cost.
