N_A: let me first appologize for my first post. Blame it on NyQuil. One sentence of thought turned into a huge paragraph, and then...blah. To summarize...although the best thing for Nintendo fans to do right now is to concentrate on the games, some people will forever obsess over sales data and administrative decisions.
Sucess of Nintendo: I slightly disagree with the fact that Sony has to make a huge mistake for Nintendo to regain the #1 spot. That is only one case of a general statement. It is my belief that Nintendo can regain the #1 spot if, relative to Nintendo, Sony makes a blunder. This added relativity allows for one more obvious case: Nintendo does something brilliant, and Sony gets complacent and continues to do what it is doing. Now, Nintendo hasn't done anything radically brilliant (in terms of business) since the release of the NES, so the probability is low, but you never know with Iwata at the helm.
