what i'm saying is with 92k employee at ms and 4+k at nintendo and most of them devs.... there is just no way in hell nintendo can even do r&d on the same scale ms does....
so yeah no contest here.... not the same category.... we are trying to compare feather weight with heavy weight.....

again- your logic is bigger must be better, even though you specifically said "it's not a pissing contest". most of microsofts staff has absolutely nothing to do with their video game division or r&d, whereas most of nintendo's does. what's the size of microsofts video game r&d department? do you know? and just because you have a lot of employees, doesn't mean they're better, that completely fails to look at the quality & function of such employees.


wait what???? MS business is mostly R&D beside changing a skin every 5 years tweaking office they have nothing else to do than R&D..... they employ some of the brightest mind in the software development world and hardware integration.....no I don't know the size of the game division but a company like MS doesn't work by division only.... but more by project and interation of project between the different sector they have.... the XB playing video games waas just an excuse for MS to get in the people's living room before the family desktop completely dies out..... without saying that you do realise MS has their own campus on top of their elite selected employees..... if you want a pissing contest MS is a watter canon to turn off oil rig fires and nintendo is a garden hose.... even if it's the best garden hose in the world it is no match to a water canon
