| happydolphin said: To be fair, Sega did steal a big portion of the market in the West with the Genesis (Mega Drive), and created a dent in Nintendo's image that has stuck ever since. |
Not only is Nintendo still in the console & portable business, whereas Sega dropped out a long time ago, Nintendo owned the competition last generation with units sold. DS & Wii were huge successes, whether people can admit it or not. Sony is bleeding money, and Microsoft lost tons of money for the first few years with the 360. As far as i can see, Nintendo is the only one out of the current three that has a sustainable business model. Sega didn't have a sustainable business model and they failed because of that. We'll see if microsoft & sony can last much longer. I'd bet on nintendo in the long run.
