If Nintendo demo'd the execution of Reggie at E3, would Microsoft off Ballmer within a year?

You're almost correct, but it's not 3 companies which copy from each other. It's mainly just 1 company that innovates, and 2 other companies that blatantly copy & paste. Take a wild guess at which company does the innovating....hmmm, let's see- first d-pad controller, first analog thumbstick, first rumble pack, first touch screen gaming, first motion controls, the list goes on and on till the break of dawn. Not to mention all the game genres which Nintendo either basically invented or radically evolved. And it's not a coincidence that Nintendo is the only 1 out of the 3 that is ONLY a gaming company.

Nintendo arguably invented the d-pad (at least their cross shaped version of it), but they were far from the first to use analog sticks, haptic feedback, touch screens, or motion controls in gaming.

In the home console & portable gaming arena, Nintendo was unquestionably the first to introduce all those innovations. All of these were quickly copied by rivals. Check your history, it may help clarify things. If i'm wrong, then provide an example....
