Neither of them see Nintendo as a competitor...and so far for Wii U rightly so.

I'd prefer if Nintendo left the console business and simply made games though. I enjoy them and it is rather disappointing to have to buy another console just for the few titles I do enjoy. .

I  don't think they are even trying. It's not like they are direct  competitors anymore. Sony is busy enough fighting Microsoft. Also Shu  likes Reggie. :P

I like that so many people seem to have convinced themselves of that.

Not so much convincing as having read comments from reps from those companies who have suggested that. 

Nintendo is kinda like motorcycles in the auto industry. It's not really competing with the cars, but it is cutting into sales. They do their own thing, which I appreciate. 

not so much convincing when the products do the same thing an compete with each other for the mass audience.

Bahahahahaha! That's too much. They made a profit off the GC and I highly doubt WiiU will sell that abysmal by the end of it's cycle (50 Million low end, imo).


Sony made a profit by selling buildings.


What does that have to do with taking out Nintendo? lol.

Sony can do nothing, only Nintendo can kill Nintendo. If Nintendo releases real games (not SMBU), they sell well. Best thing Sony can do is not try to rip off what makes Nintendo unique, because the end up looking foolish. Anybody remember Playstation Allstars? How about the upcomming Knack? Mod Nation Racers?
Playstation Allstars = Crappy version of Smash Brothers
Knack = looks like a rejected Nintendo concept
Mod National Racers = A boring Mario Kart

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner for the most unintelligent post of the month! Please give a round of applause!

Edit: On a serious note, please don't be so small minded. 

While it he was rude, it was fairly accurate (not including knack as it has yet to be released)

You do realize Nintendo has a money chamber similar to Scrooge McDuck?

"Fuck PS Vita", "Fuck Wii U".

Damn, Spurge really knows how to get those thread hits.

To answer your question, there's nothing they can do really.

and it will still not be included when it does release

 

I can understand Battle Royale and MNR(LBPK) but leave Knack out of these little "copycat" wars

Yet none of it was relevent to the OP at all.

I think you need to read my comment again as you didn't seem to understand it.

On the off chance that you did understand it and made quite an obsolete response, I will clarify. Motorcycle companies and car companies compete for the same market - people who want powered vehicles to transport them from point A to point B. They appeal to different crowds - same as Nintendo.

Sorry, but threads like this are moronic at best.

People cheering for Nintendo's demise need to find something more interesting in their lives to busy themselves with.

And Nintendo is not exiting the systems race anytime soon, nor should anyone want them to.

The only company that can take Nintendo out of the race is Nintendo themselves.
How would they do it? Manage the rest of Wii U's life as badly as they managed its first 9 months.

Even then I think Nintendo has enough cash from the Wii/DS/3DS to be able to launch at least another home console. Nintendo would have to consecutively screw up several console launches to put themselves out of the console business altogether. But I do agree, Nintendo are the ones who can take themselves out, but I think they'll be fine.
