There was a time everyone thought Sony was unbeatable.
It's strange some people seem to think there's no way it can be taken away from the current console leader when we just witnessed it happening to the previous one.

Yes, we all thought Sony was unbeatable... then Sony proceeded to inexpilicably throw away their stake in gaming with the PSP and PS3 through a series of baffling and idiotic decisions.
Unless you're actually suggesting that a company like Nintendo, having already made their own mistakes and learned from them will somehow inexplicably make all the same mistakes that Sony did (which were really unique to the type of multi-faceted conglomerate that Sony is).
Nintendo is not without fail, but as cautious and as intelligent as they've become, to expect them to make such a bumbling mistake as Sony did when they've already learned their own lesson in over-confidence is just silly.
Face it, Microsoft isn't competent enough to take market share without someone handing it to them like Sony did. Even then, looking at console sales by this point in the generation, its clear that Nintendo has taken more of Sony's market share than Microsoft has.
After four years the Xbox had sold 25 million units
After three years the 360 has sold 26 million units
That's really not that impressive, they're really only ahead of themselves by a year. And considering how popular the MS brand and the 360's game library is, that's actually kind of worrisome.
