I think what you're posting is a false correlation there.
The reason all three were successful last time around is because all three worked their butts off to achieve success.
You should also give credit where credit is due -- Sony turned the PS3 around by putting their nose to the pavement and working their butts off for the rest of the generation after starting overly cocky, otherwise the PS3 easily could have been a flop. That's to Sony's credit, not anything Nintendo (extremely arrogant to even try to paint it that way IMO) did.
If Nintendo wants success in this business, then they should work for it like everyone else does, not just show up and think they're entiteld to success because they're god's gift to gaming. Consumers don't reward that attitude ever.
You should also get a primer on what Nintendo was actually like during the NES/SNES days when they did rule the industry in a lot of ways, they were incredibly full of themselves and bullied developers and retailers around like there was no tomorrow. Sega finally punched them square in the nose and bloodied their nose, and that woke them up out of their stupor. They do make great games, but lets not confuse that with their corporate policy -- they do tend to be dicks when they are given too much power.
