The Industry Is Stronger When Nintendo Is Strong, Says Sony's Jim Ryan

I think the industry would be better if Microsoft had never gotten involved as a console maker. Nintendo GameCube likely would've by default sold 40 million instead of 22 million IMO and then likely Nintendo would've taken advantage of Sony's $600 Blu-Ray blunder and sold a lot that following generation no matter what. 

We'd have a Sony-Nintendo market but Nintendo would be making both main line console and portables instead of basically being pushed out to make portable focused hardware alone.

And really MS doesn't bring anything to the marketplace other than PC games that are all on PS4 anyway. When they came in they unneccessarily crowded the market for Nintendo for no good reason (and have destroyed Rare in the process too). They don't need the game industry at all, instead they came into a market to basically screw up things for Nintendo that does need the game industry because they are an actual video game company, not some billion-dollar software company looking to blow some money on a side hobby. 

Considering Wii were out of stock for most of it's relevant life how X360 not existing would help it? And how X360 and X1 not existing would make Nintendo not make the errors on WiiU?

Companies usually live and die by their own mistakes.
