I said it's not as simple as you make it out to be. That's just a meaningless slogan without any context, like saying "if you work hard in college you're gaurunteed to have a great job that sets you up for life" ... uh, no you're not. It doesn't hurt, but it's no gauruntee of anything. 

If the industry actually operated the way you think it does, then why is every sales trend basically the complete opposite of what you're talking about?

People are voting with their wallets and it sure as hell isn't going according to the RolStoppable doctrine. 

If Apple goes ahead with that patent, Nintendo is in deep shit. 

Which sales trends are the opposite?

And since you didn't notice, I already said that Nintendo needs to stop messing up the hardware; it should be obvious to everyone that "software sells hardware" cannot apply to any piece of hardware, because otherwise one would have to believe that the Virtual Boy could have been successful.

Apple can do as they please, because as long as Nintendo delivers a compelling product on the whole, Nintendo is here to stay. If Nintendo were to die, it will be by their own hands.

The dominance of the Playstation and XBox brands in the console gaming space even without great software to date for PS4/X1 for one. 

The rise of smartphone gaming being a huge force in the business is another. 

If nothing Apple does affects Nintendo then why is Nintendo the one groveling now to making smartphone games and investing $200 million dollars in a shovelware smartphone app maker? Just all coincidences, right? Nintendo controls everything, nothing to see here folkes.
