Elaborate.

Both companies integrate hardware and software in a way no one else does. Apple with its firmware and Nintendo with the way if builds hardware around its games. Both also focus on having a closed platform ecosystem, something Sony, Microsoft, and Google do not do.

 

So you're talking about company philosophy. I could agree there, to an extent. But what I was refering to was consumer base and product line. I don't think selling iPhones, iPads and Macs really compare to selling dedicated home and handheld consoles. They are in different industries selling to different demographics. Saying that Apple gets away with this or gets away with that doesn't really have much weight when we're talking about what Nintendo can do imo.
