I agree, Nintendo is well positioned. Its Sony and Microsoft I don't understand.
Sony especially with its reputation for bankrupting developers. These are companies that are supposed to sink Nintendo's third party support by making consoles with slightly better graphics that bankrupt twice as many companies this time?
Sony and Microsoft both have one foot in the motion control market and the rest of their bodies leaning away from it. They both realize they have the worst stigma a company could ever be labelled with by being called the "HD Twins". A company is defined by its product differentiation.
Furthermore, they don't even have third party exclusives to differentiate them anymore, as all third parties have pretty much said they are going multiplatform for pretty much everything. If both ps4 and xbox 720 keep going with more HD then they will only be adding more multiplatform to the fire.
Are they even both going to release a new console next year. There have been more than a few hints that one of them will be dropping out next generation. Is that Sony with their "10 year plan", in which case, won't it be microsoft being left out of all the ports next gen? or the other way around?
PS3 is only now making a profit, and Sony's stock has been downgraded to "junk". Are they even stable enough to release another console. Or can they not wait to ditch all the negative stigma and bad luck they have had with the PS3 and its many shortcomings.
Sorry im a Nintendo fanboy, I usually type these out then delete them before I post, but this time I actually clicked submit
