Who really dominates the Video Game Industry ?

[Leynos]

How would a Sony console do if it had the 3rd party support of Wii U? Probably lose billions and bow out. Nintendo wasn't financially in any trouble. Some bumps in the road but still fine. Nintendo is the most resilient gaming company. The only ones I know of that can go from a 20 or 13 million-selling system o a 100 million unit system. They still make portable gaming work in a smartphone cloud gaming world. Nintendo keeps trying to innovate. They fail and fail hard. Then succeed and really succeed. Even when they fail they still inspire. Sony you know added the touchpad as a last-minute response to Wii U just in case Wii U succeeded.

Sony has a long-running meme or Nintendo innovated and Sony imitates. Not that Sony hasn't innovated in hardware as now everyone had a capture button. The last system with built-in capture ability I think is the Wonder Mega and the Sharp Famicom system. Wii U you could cheese it with the browser on the Gamepad. Sony is lack for a better term "Terminally hip" and so they sell very well by appealing to the broadest demo. Sony did not survive handhelds. I remember reading years ago Sony was taking such heavy losses on PS3 they entertained the idea of quitting in 2007. In 2007 I could see them doing that as they still had a hold on the TV market and other electronics to be healthy.

Sony relies on 3rd parties as much as Nintendo traditionally relies on 1st party to succeed. As long as Sony does they will likely sell the most consoles but the fact Nintendo the oldest of the 3 is still making hardware when NEC, SEGA, and Atari and a few others long since threw in the towel is something to be said. They have lost battles to Sony but are still around. So far Nintendo is winning the long term war. Their games and hardware has made the biggest impact.
