I'm sorry but you are wrong. Unless you mean they are no longer in the same league as MS and Sony at this point.

They sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Sony and MS also sell video game consoles and video games do they not? Then they are competing directly.

Also, they are a business looking to make money just like every other company and therefore Nintendo competes with ANY other for profit business for consumers' disposable income. Doubly so with regards to MS and Sony's video game divisions.

Am I? @bold. Name it what you want to, they don't fight for the same audience.

@underlined. They sell video game consoles, but not to the same audience.

@italics. Sure, they also compete with Hagen, the animal food company.

So which audience do I belong to? I play Nintendo games, PlayStation games, Xbox games and PC games. They most certainly are competing for my gaming dollar. And I know I am not alone. 

Do you really believe that out of those 100 million Wii owners that more than half of them didn't buy any other home console? Do you really believe that those of us who grew up on Nintendo don't buy a Sony or MS console?

And yes indirectly they compete with dog food companies as most people don't have unlimited funds. Though I was willing to stop at disposable income to make it less absurd.

I sure hope Nintendo doesn't take that view (that they don't compete with PS or XB) because if they do then there are more dark days ahead for Iwata and co.
