For this reason I think Nintendo is best prepared for the future. Other than the SNES they've never outdone the competition hardware power wise. They've been content with incremental steps forward with hardware while maintaing strong software sales. Sony currently employs the Genesis popularized model of selling hardware at a loss and making up for it with software sales. Because Nintendo limits the power of their hardware they can keep prices low and still make a profit, or at worst, break-even.
