One thing is pretty clear, Nintendo saved the industry once again, its clear, take Nintendo out of the equation and Revenue would be down massively, Profits would be nearly non existant and hardware sales would be dismal, that my friends is true domination

 

Sorry fella but thats a huge misnomer.

If the wii hadnt happened, bless its little cotton socks, then the forces on the market would not be as they are now. I agree that nintendo are dominating at the moment with out the all concering wii the other consoles would be getting far greater sales, buyer enthusiasm, press coverage or even whatever than they are.

Regards

p.s. Nintendo hasnt saved the industry, its just the latest to make a huge profit from it.

p.p.s. good on them though


 You're right console prices wouldn't have been cut as fast to try and catch up to the Wii and sales of the PS3 and 360 would be lower then they are now, and software sales would be lower as well.

 

So yeah, still saving, not only by kepping sales high but also by forcing prices down
