but kids these days are growing up with free games, won't this effect their perception later down the road as well? Or are you arguing that they will come to realize that some games DO cost money and they will accept that?

I am saying that kids will come to accept that some games do have to cost money, provided Nintendo gives people reasons to buy their hardware. If Nintendo fails at that, their core business is at a much higher risk than just being able to sell their own hardware.

Subsequently, Sony and Microsoft's consoles will be at risk, because for a long time they have drawn kids and teenagers away from Nintendo with the marketing for "mature" gaming. This really affects the entire dedicated video game market, so Sony and Microsoft will be rooting for Nintendo to succeed, even if they won't publicly say it. Although I vaguely remember a Sony executive saying something along those lines in the past. Nintendo failure isn't good for Sony, but they of course don't want Nintendo to be more than a minor player who attracts the PS gamers of the future.

What you're saying is that if kids learn to play free games on a Nintendo console, this will spell disaster for Sony and MS as well since these kids will want free games on those consoles as well?

Yes, I also remember a Sony executive saying somehting like that
