BLOG VIDEO: Nintendo 'Destroys' Microsoft In Video Game Hardware Sales

The title is only there to grab attention. The video is really about why this talk of Nintendo going 3rd party is ridiculous and counterproductive. The blogger here talks about how we should want all 3 console makers to do well since competition is good for consumers.

I'm also loving how he points out that the 'Nintendo = the next SEGA' attitude is a fallacy. SEGA was going broke BEFORE Dreamcast was murdered by the PS2. Right now, Nintendo has more cash than many 3rd world countries! :O

Finally, there is one more point he makes that I thought was quite well-made. At the time SEGA went broke, they were also supporting numerous different platforms in numerous different regions. The Master System & Genesis were still being supported in Europe and Latin America at that time. The Saturn was also still alive and well in Japan until 2000. (I think...) They had their hand in a lot of different cookie jars and that handicapped them when trying to stand up to the PS2 juggernaut. That being said, they may not have survived even if they threw everything they had at the Dreamcast and hoped for the best. Atari did that with the Jaguar and we all know how that turned out...
