Did Microsoft just force Nintendo's hand?

I don't think Nintendo gives a fuck what Sony and Microsoft are doing.

That would certainly explain why nintendo's consoles consistently don't sell well even though it's primarly a video game company. What happens to any company that doesn't pay any attention to their competition especially if the competition keeps selling way better.

nintendo has to care about profits, not about marketshare...

It needs to care about both but having more market share will equate to more profit later on with digital sales and any purchases through eshop. They will just dig that hole deeper if they keep chasing after immediate profit over longterm plans to make more profit. They don't need to sacrifice profit for marketshare and vice versa. 3rd party developers have little interest in a console that's gaining little marketshare and eventually won't bother with ports or any decent ports. That will effect nintendo's profit down the line.
