LMFAO at all these excuses about MS/ Nintendo shooting themselves in the foot that helped Sony win the gen.

The Xbox brand simply has no chance against the PS brand in the console market. If they can't even outsell the PS3, a console where Sony royally fucked themselves, they won't outsell any PS going forward, especially with Sony's massive world wide market. As for Nintendo, PS1, PS2, & soon the PS4 will outsell the Wii, Nintendo's highest selling console. Nintendo also couldn't complete a comeback like Sony did with the PS3.

The fact is, MS/ Nintendo benefit more on Sony's mistakes, than vice versa. Sony owns the console market.

How does Nintendo ever benefit from Sony's mistakes? Microsoft I'll agree with particularly during the 360 era (though Microsoft fucked up several times eg RROD). If anything, Nintendo's mistakes, starting back as far as 1988, were the catalyst for Playstation's emergence and eventual domination.

Sony's mistakes with the PS3 and Vita lead to the switching of platforms for the top two, non Nintendo franchises in Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest in Japan.  Sony's lifeblood is 3rd party titles and without the two biggest, they struggled and Nintendo benefited.
