Nintendo could never beat Apple. Apple have better marketing and essentially better products. They may not be the best in the market e.g. their pad over others, but the build quality and accessibility are second to none. Plus they don't have any geeky stigma, especially with the iphone.

Nintendo makes better games though.  That's why they destroyed PlayStation this generation.

According to who?? Don't kid yourself. The Wii did not sell on quality game titles, it sold because it was accessible and family friendly while headed by heavy and very successful marketing. Most of the large selling wii titles are just shameless remakes, and so unless you think games shouldn't improve per generation, you've not got a leg to stand on.

Plus if farmville & MW2 have taught us anything, quality of games means nothing.

Nintendo won on the strength of their software.  Consumers chose Wii and DS because of games like New Super Mario Bros., Brain-Age, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Nintendogs, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, etc.  They make the best games in the business according to the massmarket.  That's their greatest strength against Apple, just as it was against Sony.
