This thread is prooving to be the ultimate "SALES fanboy" ever. We all know that numbers are important, and since this gen, more = better (acording to said fanboys). To the OP: Nintendo nearly broke the iindustry in the 90's because of its tyrant habits. Nintendo has great franchises, but thats it. Its HARD to see new IPs coming from them. Why? Its sure money when they release a new Mario, Zelda, Punch-out, and so on. So we expect third parties to fill that hole, but its hard for them, for they compete with Nintendo Itself, wich eats their chances of selling as well as said franchises. Sony and MS came into the industry for many reasons, mayinly this one, the same one that keeps Nintendo afloat, MONEY! Nintendo was born as a toys company. It still is, to some (me included). But why do I care? I am trying to talk sense into guys who is likely to say things like 'Sony dont deserve to be on gaming industry' or ' Nintendo is the only game company worth'.
People who close their eyes to the past cannot see its mistakes. Nintendo did their fair share, some of they are making a come back this gen. Sony is paying/payed foir theirs. MS done a lot of them/is doing theirs. Lets hope they learn from them and with them.
