This may sound simple to you, but regardless of whether it's "unfair" or "unjust" or something, that isn't how these companies will work.

Yes, competing against Nintendo is very hard. Guess what the typical response is to that problem? It isn't "step up our game," it's "find somewhere else to work." That's how businesses work; they find the path of least resistance. Nintendo's strength creates a lot of resistance. Therefore, they will try to find other paths.

I suppose in some just, utopian world, all these companies would try hard to compete with Nintendo, to match their wits against the best; but in reality many will choose simply to avoid them because it's a lot easier.


Yor're making a big assumption that they care more about selling volume than profits. Without knowing the profitability of titles, it's impossible to determine the business success of a product based on sales alone.
