I agree 100%. I've always been a big Nintendo fan, but a monopoly is always a bad thing. Competition is the force that drives innovation... that's why so many times the underdog will come out with a product that pushes the envelope. Just think, if Nintendo had come out on top last generation, do you think they'd have taken the risk of 'revolutionizing' gameplay, or stuck with what worked the last time? Nintendo got their butts kicked, so they HAD to do something different.
Sony led 2 generations and thought they didn't have to innovate, so did the same old thing and it's hurt them. Lots of big companies have fallen apart because they became complacent and were out-innovated.
