Regardless of what Iwata says, It is Microsoft who can not compete according to Sean Malstrom.

Agree for the most part, Nintendo "wins" where it counts. Sony and MS meanwhile hemorrhage money in their gaming divisions (aside from Sony in from about 1996-2005 when they had a near monopoly in the games industry).

And before you go discrediting Malstrom as some Nintendo fanboy, he is in fact far from it. If anything, he is a retro/PC fanboy, and is probably far more critical of Nintendo than almost anyone I've heard or read, fan or journalist, and that is saying a lot..

Ever heard of synergy?  of cross subsidy?  of loss leader? of trojan horse?

This guy doesnt understand it (or ignores it) and neither do you or many posters on gaming forums.

Sony and MS understand it fully (they have to, they are large multi-discipline, multi national conglomerates) and it is why you simply cannot compare Nintendio with Sony and MS. 

Its a ridicluous comparison born of god knows what...

Exactly.
