I just figured out why so many want Nintendo to become 3rd party!

Ah but the old Nintendo/Sony fallout leading to PS1....then PS2 running Gamecube into the ground. The idea of Nintendo and Sony being allies is laughable.

Microsoft set out against Sony as its rival from day 1.Ergo my theory is correct. Nintendo MS united against a company that wronged them both in the past.

To Nintendo Fans: I always extend the hand of diplomacy to you. Our fight is not with you and we appreciate what you have done in Japan for us :)

Perhaps they were enemies in the past, but they seem to help each other this generation.

Also, you could say Microsoft and Nintendo are enemies right now. Microsoft tried to steal Nintendo's casual audience with Kinect. Nintendo stole Microsoft's controller with the Pro Controller. Microsoft stole Nintendo's avatars. Microsoft tried to kill the Wii U's gamepad with Smartglass, etc. They seem like arch enemies to me.

Fixed that for you. Somehow I doubt core Nintendo fans care about that.

They are competitors, but the big picture tells me they each served their own part to gain themselves at Sonys expense.
