What a stupid article. Sony or MS would be right up there with Nintendo if they had franchises with such universal appeal that lasted as long. Everybody else does. Look at Mega Man, Sonic, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Tetris, Pac-Man, or any other franchise that has stayed successful for more than a decade. God of War only had 2 games before it got an HD Collection. Maybe in a couple years we'll see a God of War Super Collection with all 3 console games as well as the handheld games all in one package with some other bonus content. I'm sure we'll see some sort of Halo Collection in a while too. There's already a rumor that they're remaking the original Halo with a facelift and today's online multiplayer stuff.
To single out Nintendo is really just to point out that they're the oldest and most successful gaming company still around. If they have a bigger catalogue of games, they're going to flex it more. Besides, the team that ported all the old 2-D Mario games to the GBA did that for practice, and then made New Super Mario Bros. I think it worked out pretty well.
