No.. No.. I'm not telling you that. I'm saying Nintendo as a company in the whole industry.  As per the op, bushnell is referring to handhelds too.

I don't know what world you lived in, but from about 1995-2005 Nintendo was NOT King. Yeah, their handheld sold good (with little to no competition mind you) but in the home console market they didn't account for much. In that market Sony was King.

I live in this world. The one where Nintendo is no. 1 in the game industry. 30 years, King of the hill. You wanna talk about irrelevance, having the largest marketshare/revenue but the lowest profits. That's the path to irrelevance. You wanna worry about someone, worry about PS & XBOX. They're unsustainable. If they're unprofitable again this gen, their games division is "GAME OVER".

Oh, by the way, according to your logic Microsoft was King of the last 2 gens. Have you seen Microsoft's profits?!!!!

I also guess that Apple is the current King.
