I really hate this journalistic approach to the videogame market as a race for #1. We can have industries with dozens and dozens of successful brands - vehicles, toys, movies, music etc, but not videogames? The market necessarily needs to have only one or two dominating companies and a bunch of losers? Why not having three or more good companies?
This is specially annoying in a moment when, despite what sales numbers suggest, every main console maker is having troubles. Sony - as a whole company - counts huge losses year after year and the home videogame division seems to be the only healthy one. Microsoft shareholders already suggested the sale of the videogame division ( a hint that it may not be profitable as people think). Nintendo can´t sell enough home consoles despite excellent software and his handheld division is facing fierce competition from mobiles/tablets.
As long as Nintendo is making profits and keeping a stable financial situation, they will be just fine this generation.
