Nintendo turned around because of Iwata's vision, and maybe because Microsoft interferred with the industry. If Microsoft wasn't there to challenge Sony in to making a super-powerful console, with a super-high launch price, and huge development costs, PS3 would've been a lot less ambitious, and maybe, just maybe, would've been a REAL competitor to Nintendo's Wii.
In that case, we would be having a SNES-Genesis like console war now, I think. Maybe it would be called: Nintendo's revolt against the Playstation monopoly, in hypothetical gaming history books.
Dude, have you ever seen this Sony commercial they've been showing in Europe?
