It's one of the other reasons I think Microsoft hurts the market more than helping. ESP with this generation of gaming, Nintendo and Sony have always catered to different audiences as far as gamers were concerned. This gen is no different. Nintendo is going for a more casual orientation, and sony is pushing for epic "blockbuster" type games, the difference between the two was apples and oranges. But with MS in the race trying to push Sony out of the picture you'll have two major players attempting to "one up" the competion and thus dumping major funds into dev costs. In my opinion if Microsoft had stuck to software onry and pushed all of it's titles on either PC or PS3, the market would still be two polar opposites and management of funds would be way different.
I guess in short I don't consider Nintendo to be the "saviour" of gaming, I more or less just think that Microsoft is hurting the industry. Again I don't really have proof to back any of these claims but thats my opinion lol.
*Sidenote* I think Sony and Nintendo should just merge so we have outstanding hardware and games >_> then the new fusion could build mechs or something....
