1) But doesn't Nintendo have stronger IP's than Sega? Just imagine how LBP would be effected if a 2D Mario was to hit Playstation... Who would play LBP?! But then again, tying in with point 3; good games sell more good games, so maybe they'd thrive? And the same logic could then be applied to Zelda and Fable and other franchises... Now that I come to think about it (and this is merely a thought, I haven't looked this up) it would seem that MS/Sony has more 1st party games aching to those of Nintendo than what 3rd parties have...

2) No further comments.

3) Oki doki =)

4) haha I was just joking with you! While you tend to post looong posts, they're often very enlightening! But I much rather read them as replies to someone else than me ^^

Yes, Nintendo has stronger IPs than Sega, but most of them aren't similar to third party games. Additionally, third parties couldn't care less, if LBP sold less. Lastly, much of Nintendo's success is attributed to them making their own hardware. With this advantage being removed, as well as Nintendo being crippled from being forced out of the hardware business, Nintendo should be nowhere near as strong as they are today anymore.

I agree with about everything you said here.
