Nintendo vs Microsoft/Sony Styles (Pure Games vs Multiple Product)

[Bodhesatva]

I thought of a simple way to explain what I mean in that giant post above this one.

There is no technical issue that stops either Microsoft or Sony from operating using Nintendo's marketing model. However, there is a very real limitation stopping Nintendo from using the MS/Sony model -- that is, they aren't a conglomerate that can draw on funds from outside the video game market. Therefore, the MS/Sony model is inherently superior.
