Your entire OP is based on the premise that Microsoft and Sony are messing up the industry.

Even what you call Nintendo's laziness is brought on by Sony and Microsoft.

You compare the gaming industry to the music industry, while saying gaming is no good in its current form, so either:

a) Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo need to step up the first party development, or

b) There are many different brands of console, all of which can play every game, giving us a situation like the MP3 player.

To be honest, I think the industry is fine as it is. Within the next couple of quarters, all three companies will be profiting, sales for all consoles are strong, and there is a diverse and quality range of games on every platform. The last thing we need is a company like Apple having complete domination over the industry.

I don't know who's messing up the industry. I just know it's messed up. I think the fact that there is only one video game company making consoles now is a big reason it sucks now. Needless to say I'm not happy with the way things are.

I give up. You just refuse to budge from the opinion that SCE and MGS are not video game companies, just because they are not solely video game companies.

So by that logic, Creative, who only make music players (for the most part) are better than Apple at making music players, because Apple also makes computers and operating systems?
