Hopefully, NEVER! Think about it, without Nintendo where would the industry have gone 20 sum-odd years ago? We need Nintendo here, even if they aren't dominating.

I would agree with that. Perhaps it's better if they aren't dominating, because back in the time when Nintendo had their least successful console ever (not counting the Virtual Boy), the GameCube, we also had the console with the greatest gaming library of all time (the PS2).
