Splatoon, for one - this is the one that Yoshida specifically mentioned.

The Wii's motion controls were enough of an innovation to drive the system's sales for three solid years, while both Sony and MS were forced to respond with Move and Kinect, respectively.

If you'd like, I can continue.

Well they provide balance by being rather imbalanced in the range of their offerings. Perhaps if they were more internally balanced, and more current with console power, they would be a multi-generation dominant force in home consoles.

We can acknowledge the things Nintendo does to contribute positively, but it doesn't make them immune from criticism about decisions they make which limits their potential, in the home console space at least.

Its called pr.

And owning and knowing your enemys products is mere good business sense.

He wont need to reply here because anyone can answer this. 

Wii

DS

Wii U gamepad 

and those are the major ones.

some games that innovate include every itterating core Mario game, Pikmin, Advanced Wars, Fire Emblem, Hey You! Pikachu, Pokemon Snap, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Mario Kart Series. Future ones include Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Xenoblade X

Forced is a strong and inaccurate word. They weren't forced to do it, they just didn't wanted to miss out on sales. Furthermore, I think innovation is overrated (ironnically, underated is an inaccurate word :P). People like to say oh the industry needs "innovation to thrive" but that's a naive way of looking at it.

In reality, innovation is the stuff that gives us things like the Virtual Boy. Motion controls weren't new in the Wii, they were just intuitive to use and made gaming easier to access. Something touch devices are doing now.

Yes, please continue because Splatoon seems seems like they copied The Unfinished Swan and changed it a bit.

Motion Controls - lol, yeah, such a great innovation that it's still being used today...

Only balance that I see Nintendo bringing to the industry is when it occasionally drops a 3D open world platformers.
Because in terms of RPGs, Sports,Fighting, Card games, Strategy, Racing, FPS, TPS and Dance games, other consoles got the market on lock. Even platformers are offered in abundance over Xbla.

But he's right. It has nothing to do with him being biased, but it's probably WHY he's a PS4 fan like a lot of us. I buy PS branded consoles for the variety of experiences. That's the selling point.

He's right, that's why only SCEJ is trying to do something that isn't painfully mediocre and uninspiring (sorry Sony America fans)

I think you're forgeting Naughty Dogs - they make "painfully mediocre and uninspiring" games too? What about Media Molecule?
