Is that why Microsoft with all the cash have won every gen? Oh wait!

 

Why is it that the company with the most struggles when it comes to finances is the one on top, with the most games, with the better games, with all the 3rd party support? Nintendo and Microsoft have more money than Sony, so?

That's not the point, the point is Nintendo doesn't like to compete in crowded markets. 

If doesn't matter if MS is winning or not, they have set the rules in a lot of ways for the industry by throwing cash around like it's going out of style. "Competing directly" means having to match that. 

Nintendo just doesn't like to do that. If MS wasn't around then I think Nintendo would be more inclined to make more of a traditional console as there would be a wide open spot at no.2 (minimum) to be the alternative to Sony and sell even 33-45 million units in a poor cycle. But when you add MS into the mix, it just throws everything off. 

The industry has never supported 3 platforms that try to do the same thing. If it was just two hardware makers, that's a huge, huge difference. In that scenario, Nintendo could sell 40-50 million likely each gen without much fuss, I don't think they would mind at all even being no.2 to Sony. 

 

I agree with you. A 2way competition would be better for the gaming scenario. Preferably with Sony and Nintendo.
