Instead of a new reply I just copy two of my replys I wrote in recent threads to show my view on this matter:
"Nintendo is by far the world's most successful console/handheld manufacturer and at the same time the most successful videogame publisher.
They sold more than 230 million Wii/DS systems so far, if I'm not mistaken that's more than 100 million more gaming devices sold than Sony since the start of the last gen for these two companies, i.e. the launch of DS/PSP.
As publishers, Nintendo sold - according to VGC data - around 650 million games on Wii/DS, Sony around 125 million games on PS3/PSP, Microsoft around 100 million games on 360.
Even if we'd detract ~100 million bundled Nintendo games from these figures, they'd still be ~400 million copies in front of Sony.
Nintendo is probably the most profitable company in this industry. I see no reason why this should change soon."
and
(Nintendo is) "Still one of the most clever companies in this industry. Always doomed by both, haters and most devoted fans, but sells way more systems and 1st party games each week than Sony and showed us at last and this year's E3 their plans to counter the only real dangerous competitor: smartphone/pad gaming."
