@PORKCHOP37 It is. Nintendo has always been a different level from them, as in the general marketplace nintendo is an 'also get'. IE: Someone with a playstation or X box isn't likely to get one of the other, but they are very likely to get a nintendo and vice versa. To put another way, X-Box and Playstation are shirts and have to compete for the same space and don't really worry about nintendo who basically have the pants space all to themselves. Sony's also learned the hard way, nintendo just owns the mobile market, and its not worth trying to challenge them on it. Besides, and reps from both companies have said this in the past, nintendo is like a quirky r&d company for them. While sony and X-box just look for top of the line hardware, nintendo is more apt to try new things in general, and they follow nintendo's lead when they hit a good idea. Nintendo's is the Canada of the video game world. No one wishes them ill, and is happy letting them do their own little thing.
