Nintendo is no competition to Sony and Microsoft BECAUSE
1st - they have many industries that they are in. There is no reason for EITHER Microsoft of SONY 2 drop out because even if they make almost no money with a generation console, they make HUGE amounts in their industries. Nintendo however has NO fall back!

that doesn't make any sense lol. no matter how you try to spin it, nintendo is still direct competition. Its true that both sony and microsoft's consoles have other features that that focus on the other forms of entartainment, but they are just added features. all three consoles main focus is to play games.
