32B$, that is Nintendo’s “debt” towards gamers as of 2011. 1.2B$ is the Sony’s “debt” as of 2010 but now it must be nothing. With Microsoft, it’s the opposite: gamers have a “debt” of 6.8B$ as of 2011.

Its all well and good spouting these statistics, but all three of these companies are commercials businesses, in it for profit, nothing else (despite what they may say).
And as such they owe no debt to their consumers. Because you may have purchased some products from the company in question does not make you a shareholder, or entitled to anything other than the use of the product you have bought.
And yeah, Nintendo has a huge bank of money, and many would argue they could use this to 'better the industry', but Nintendo is careful with their money. They dont throw money at hardware to make it more powerful like the other 2. They strive to spend their money effeciently and create new gaming experiences, and this is what betters the gaming industry.
Having 4k 60fps games does not do anything for the industry, except provide fanboys some graphics ammo to shoot at eachother.
Proving new gaming experiences, interactions innovations and enticing new customers to the industry is what drives it forward.
And Nintendo leads the way in these.
