As I've said, you have spotted a potential message. The one I underlined, to be exact. I really wish it is not a true message and that he'd said it just because he bought 2 WiiUs for his 2 daughters.

Oh I see. I misread your post.

They also remember old friends.

But of course. I want all of them to succeed. I'm a Sony guy but I'd be lying if I said Nintendo didn't do a lot for this industry, and they would be greatly missed if anything happened. Just look at that new Zelda game on 3DS, and the new Mario game on Wii U looks absolutely wonderful. Likewise, Microsoft has done a lot to propel the online element, and I'm looking forward to their new innovations later.

That PS3 has got some nerve!

Yoshida's attitude is one many people should consider to adopt.

Looks like we now have world peace.

Could be micro-aggression in console wars or coincidental context.

Come to think of it, even if it was a micro-aggresion, the act itself of wishing success to an opponent is so large as to render it insignificant. It's exemplary behavior and I enjoyed seeing it coming from Microsoft as well, earlier this day.

It could be what a fellow above has mentioned; perhaps the threat posed by tablets and smartphones is big enough to force "alliances". Imagine a gamer, that starts gaming with console brand "A". Over the years, the taste of competition, combined with maturity and curiosity, leads him to a "jump" to brand "B" and eventually brand  "C".

Over the course of time, all three companies have benefitted from a single gamer. Customers are thusly "recycled", offering profits to all of them and prolonging consoles' existence in the market. Excluding fanboys (the irony), everybody else act to the interest of console gaming industry.

You mean the RROD?
