As long Iwata his alive , I think nintendo is safe.

really?

 

IWATA doesn't make nintendo succesfull though

Yea, once he became President (or wuteva his title is) they decided to change their approach, and approved the "test" with the DS. He is pretty much legendary for supporting this massive turn around in product design marketing and profitability.

yes he did bring revolutionary devices but many other things like PS3's high price also helped alot

Sony made many mis-steps this generation. Price. B/C. Rumble. Differing SKUs/models. The list goes on.

But Sony made one mistake in the late 1980s/early 1990s, when it tried to use contracts to gain profits from Nintendo as part of a partnership. It is (finally) paying for that. http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=231

Nintendo seeing Apple as its enemy in the future:

SONY made mistake of price as they sacrificed PS3 for future profits of BLU-RAY

B/C was not a mistake and didn't make much difference when console was so highly priced.also they just removed it afterwords so that PS2 sales would make up for PS3 loss

RUMBLE again did not make much difference compared to how price effected it

different/sku again were made so that loss would be less on some units and this didn't effect sales anywhere near the price

do you even know what the NINTENDO-SONY contracts were for.

Nintendo approched SONY to make a CD based version of SNES not SONY.

Nintendo have sometimes declined APPLE as enemy and sometimes confirmed it,anyways APPLE will not effect hardcore gaming

The B/C mistake was the position switching. I personally favor B/C, but to first have it and then remove it makes you appear to be uncertain.

I am aware what the Sony contracts were for. I also know how Sony tried to make things work to its advantage -- overly so in the eyes of NIntendo.

Finally, Nintendo considers everyone an enemy -- in one way or another. And approaching this business from a perspective that you have to compete against anything someone might do means you will strive to make sure that your optiosn for entertainment have value and quality, for you know that only in that way can remain relevant.
