With no exceptions, every Xbox One ships with Kinect attached to it, which was created as a direct response to the success of the Wii.

The 3DS is the only thing standing between subscription-based mobile devices and total domination of the portable gaming market, the last line of defense for medium-budget titles that can't compete in the ocean of free and 99¢ garbage polluting App Stores everywhere.

Remote Play between PSP and PS3 was no more well-developed as a concept than the EyeToy. With the Wii U and its near-universal Off-TV Play capabilities, Nintendo truly brought this idea into focus. And what happened? Sony decided that Remote Play between PSV and PS4 should be mandatory for all PS4 titles. And still Nintendo has outdone them.

Nintendo built the modern console business, and still they sustain it. Irrelevant? That couldn't be farther from the truth. The Wii U may stumble, but it's clear that Nintendo's movements still attract the attention of their competitors.
