I really don't see how this is a surprise.
Sony = electronics
MS = computer software
Nintendo = GAMES
Sure there are some great 3rd party games out there but who would really put the extra effort into a game? Would EA have developers that devoted, there goal is to sell as many types to games to as many systems as possible. Even smaller 2nd party developers have a hard time making a top 10 game since they can't afford to spend that much time on a game. But Nintendo? You have developers and programmers working there for over two decades, they love the company, and they have an unlimited budget. Toss in Miyamoto and Koji Kondo and there passions and it's no wonder games like SMG are done right from the ground up and then polished to a mirror shine.
Say what you want about Nintendo, but you have to admit they have the best developers in the business.
