I Wish Microsoft Never Entered The Gaming Business (From a Nintendo POV)

I feel the same way about Sega. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Sony never entered the gaming business. The Saturn would have done better and the Dreamcast would have prevailed. The gaming industry was never the same the moment Sega left the console business. It's sad but all good things come to an end eventually. Sony got really arrogant and complacent during the PS2 days and we needed a company the size of Microsoft to put them in their place.

Two things...

- Like Sony, Sega made much of their own bed. Differences, they didn't have the financial strength to weather the storm.

- I'm not sure what "place" Sony needed to be in, but of late, their position looks to be shifting in their favor. :P

Nintendo is making much of their own bed as well. They're not perfect, they have made mistakes too. Not every single product they release will be a hit, they're bound to fail at some point. Sega made a few poor decisions but probably would have recovered if Sony never entered the market. They would still be making consoles.

Not sure if Sony's position is shifting in their favor, they are doing better but not in the North American market. Sony needed to be taken down a few notches by Microsoft. A healthy competition is always good for the industry.
