How many times do we have to go through this. Businesses are profit-maximizing. Whoever makes the most profit, "wins" in the short-term. Whoever wins in the long-term can't really be predicted, otherwise companies would be able to organize around this long-term prediction and succeed.  

Nintendo will likely be more profitable in the end.

Nintendo is probably worth 15BN total. Microsoft probably makes more than that in total profit each year. Nintendo might be the most profitable in terms of games but if you are arguing who will live the longest my money would be on Microsoft.  

I don't know. Nintendo is the older of the two companies. Profit doesn't mean one will live longer. Profit is just the motive. Some companies can make profits greater than 100 years of another company and then they still die within a year. That wasn't what I was saying though.
