You're talking about market dominance of consoles between 95-05. Of coarse i agree with you. Im not thick. Our definitions of what make a true king are different. As the most powerful man in history once said. ~"As long as i control a nations currency, I care not who makes their laws." This thread is about longevity, longevity is about profits.

Then Microsoft and/or Apple are King.

Not of the games industry.

Nintendo are purely a video game company. So their profits have to come from the hardware and the software. Sony and MS on the other hand use their consoles to push other aspects of their companies. That's why Nintendo will most likely alway have the highest profit margins. I'm not downplaying though, it is a great achievement. I'm just saying that looking at the profit alone when it comes to Sony and MS tends to be misleading.
